Military Studies

Neil Hayes is an academic fraud of the garden variety, the run-of-the-mill common type academic fraud that has been around for years. He purchased a doctorate from Trinity College & University. He then got a doctorate from Knightsbridge University, another diploma mill. He once described the process that he went through to get the degree from KU and it was far from an academic rigorous process. I like Neil, or at least I did before he started advertising for diploma mills. Do not send KU your money.

 

not so much a ringing endorsement as a tinkle

Quinn Tyler Jackson was kind enough to post on another thread some e-mail correspondence between Dr Moskos and Thompson. Dr Moskos apparently decided that he did endorse this program, then forgot (!) that he had done so--but--wait for it--Dr Moskos says now:
"But, truth to tell, I know hardly anything at all of the Knightsbridge program."

What, exactly, IS "codswallop"?

 

War and Peace in a fake and almost non-existent, military school!

Nosborne:

Greetings from the great and some-rare-times luminary codswallop capital of the USA!

Not to speak for the great and erudite Dr. John Bear, but this codified Brit word is defined
here as follows:

"cods·wal·lop (kdzwlp)
"n. Chiefly British Slang
"Nonsense; rubbish.

Then again, Nosborne, if you did not know this, I am willing to bet that this makes for a count of (close to) precisely ONE, the total number of (Brit-)English, lawful and almost-legal words of which you, and Uncle J, know absolutely nothing!

Anyone care to take me up on this bet?

(I would hope not, except for, maybe Dr. Hayes, who probably can lay claim to inventing the codswallop word, if not alone then with the most assured assistance of his cohorts from that other forum, the capitol of diploma-mill-and-shillland).

Thanks.

 

Thank you. I think.

 

Exactly. Even the most positive spin Dr. Hayes places on his journey results in a degree mill selling him a diploma. Even if we take everything he's said as fact. He doesn't see that, of course, nor do any of the other denizens of that forum that (a) insist Knightsbridge is somehow legitimate (despite any evidence in favor, and much to the contrary), and (b) haven't earned doctorates themselves.

 

Oh, I've read and understood. You don't want that! You want blind acceptance in the face of damning truths.

You bought two degrees from fake schools. Everything we know about this you've provided us. What's not to understand?

 

Quite obviously you have failed to understand that you have, yet again, got egg all over your face - very rotten duck egg as well! Go get a life RCD!

 

For those who are new to the forum, Hayes claims to have earned a doctoral degree from Knightsbridge. Because of this he feels compelled to defend Knightsbridge despite ample evidence that it simply sells its degrees. He knows nothing of Military Studies or the people involved. He only knows that he must, at all costs and no matter what the issue, defend Knightsbridge as any aspersions cast on Knightsbridge are also cast upon his own "degree."

(Hey, Hayes! What a tangled web, eh?)

 

Knightsbridge?

Dear Degreeinfo. Gurus,

I am just now catching up with the military studies thread and the Knightsbridge University conversations and I have a couple of questions about this particular school. Maybe someone here could help me find the answers.

1). Knightsbridge being a European University, what is the utility of this school in Europe?

2). What European agencies list this as a 'good' school or a 'bad' school that says one should, or should not accept it?

3). Neil Hayes lives in New Zealand and travels to Europe. If Knightsbridge and its degrees are accepted in his country and in Europe, why such a fuss?

Curious ?

Dr. Hayes epitomizes the "one topic" poster, here only to promote his diploma mill degree. When that fails, he resorts to these tactics.

 

Re: Knightsbridge?

 

He's not the egg man. Koo koo ka choo.

Dr Hayes has erred. Dr Douglas has no egg on his face.

The basis for Dr Hayes' contention is that Dr Douglas received a communication from Dr Moskos saying he had not endorsed the program in question. Then Mr Jackson provided an e-mail from Dr Moskos to one Thompson saying that he had endorsed the program, but had forgotten that he had done so, and knew nothing about the program in question.

So the abyssal difference is this:
a) Dr Moskos never endorsed the program
or
b) Dr Moskos endorsed a program in total ignorance of it, then forgot.

Big whoop.

Dr Douglas has no egg on his face. But he has a real PhD diploma on his wall.
He will have to be content with that.

 

You might like to have a look at the University of New England in Armidale NSW, Australia.

They offer a distance learning MA in Defence Studies. You can be absolutely confident about dealing with UNE, they are a very well known university here and have been offering external degrees for many years.

For the record, I have a Master of Letters from UNE which was completed externally. See the link below.

I just received this from an operator at American Military University. He told me that the more ideas they receive, they better they can have directions for their programs.



Send an email to [email protected]. The more they get inquiries into this, the more it may be considered. We just hired a new Provost and I believe he is going to move us in an exciting new direction

 

Oh this is about a PhD DL program in Military Studies. They want all the feedback they can get. It is very much on their minds

 

Tireman,
I gave them a salvo via email for the doctorate program!

Great. I sent one too. I sure hope that they do this.

 

Re: Re: Knightsbridge?

Fortunately the vast majority of educated people, together with those having any real experience in distance learning, completely ignore what Rich Douglas has to say, and such an approach should most definitely be the case in respect of his comments about Knightsbridge University.
Knightsbridge has legally existed for nearly 15 years; initially being incorporated in Denmark way back in 1991. KU has a high quality and extensive faculty, offers excellent DL courses, has a very reasonable course fee structure, has organised a number of educational and military conferences, has numerous graduates who have made a major impact on society – at all levels, has degrees that are widely accepted in many areas of industry, education and commerce and degrees that have very real utility in many countries.
Knightsbridge most assuredly represent one of the legitimate non-traditional DL schools that both RCD and John Bear used to work for – and used to write so positively about - until they both became totally obsessed with the "RA or NO WAY" syndrome.

I think what you ment to say was "The vast majority of people who believe in the superiority of UNACCREDITED schools..."

Knightbridge is close enough to a degree mill to be considered one. It isn't considered legitimate either where it is located nor where it pretends to be from. At best you can say they ignore it. Not a good endorsement but stellar compared to your previous degree mill degree.
