World Executive Education Institute (WEEI) - any opinions?

I'll take two master's and a PhD, please. Extra onions and hold the relish.

 

Not being an insider on this one... what does your comment mean?? Is it a good thing or bad thing??

 

I think that in this case good is bad.

 

looks like another model of https://www.ous.ch/ or at least inspired by this...interestingly, there's also a princess http://www.ewb.rs/member.aspx?id=254 on it's faculty list among the others. I remembered OUS is also an operation managed by the Arabs...IIAS is perhaps linked with them?

 

I wonder if anyone had success finding a clear biography of Princess Karina... From what I could gather, she is a Ukrainian woman who married into House of Bagration-Moukhransky, but is not married to the unidentified prince anymore. To add to the mystery, her dignity as a Princess, based on her former marriage (reasonably enough) is recognized by Crown Prince Nugzar Bagration-Gruzinsky (according to what appears to be a web site for his House). Prince Nugzar and Prince Davit Bagration-Moukhransky are the two main rival claimants to the headship of the Royal House of Georgia. Davit at one point married Nuzgar's daughter, Princess Anna, and produced an heir, Prince Giorgi - but they are divorced now, and two branches appear not to be on speaking terms. So where does in place Her Serene Highness Karina is anyone's guess. She appears to parlay her status into some society patronages, when it is not at all clear even the heads of the branches really mean that much (unless and until Patriarch Ilia's scheme to restore the throne for the young Giorgi works out, a remote prospect at best). So, yeah, you can make your own bets on how much her endorsements really worth (if at all).

DL connection - Prince Nugzar is also a royal patron of this outfit: https://orthodox-institute.org/. Which is a bit awkward now, since Rector Right Revd. Father Count Dr. Dr. Dr. Andrew since defected to the Catholic Church - and Georgia is a super duper Eastern Orthodox country with no Catholic presence to speak of. Wonder how that works.

 

Lots of interesting at WEEI: the owner used to be a representative in Scandinavia for Victorville International University, an ambassador of the Imperial and Royal House of Montenegro and Macedonia, founder of Poseidon International University (see https://opencorporates.com/companies/pa/753427), among other things. There's also a the princess, plus a lady who is a full professor at Pebble Hills University and member of the academic council of West Coast University Panama. And a guy who's been running an unrecognized school in a Scandinavian country for a number of years now.

 

Speaking of Pebble Hills University, it also has a Shenzhen University (China) partnership through the Institute of Special Economic Zones.

indeed, Victorville International University's previous owner is now the owner of Charisma University. What a small world. Dr. PeterChris Okpala. Anyway, Dr. Chou's life looks more fun than Okpala's.

 

Why? Speaking anecdotally, it's not uncommon to see the same operator owning, running, or being involved with more than one operation.
