AN accredited degree from Latin America for an Adam Smith University degree?

Barnhart / Royer

They are both scamers and I can prove it. Im Steves nephew.

 

You're banned, and I can prove it.

 

Maybe she could work at San Diego Christian College.

 

Yes - we have a similar program (think it's still in effect) in Canada. Applicants must meet certain wealth criteria and be prepared to invest a certain sum into establishing or buying into a business in Canada. It works pretty well.

There were some few incidents in which supposed investor/immigrants, who actually had little or no money, "borrowed" the starting funds under-the-table ($50,000 or so, IIRC) from someone already in Canada - and quickly gave it back, along with a hefty fee, after entry into Canada Net result - no investment, one unqualified immigrant (and family) jumped the turnstile. I think the Government has taken steps to eliminate this scam and altogether, it works pretty well.

BTW - I messed up the name of the Costa Rican University, UNEM. It's Universidad Empresarial de Costa Rica. Much the same meaning as whatever-I-wrongly-said. Basically "University of Business."

Also, about "Im Steves nephew." Judging by his posting, I think Kellydena5038 was referring to Steven Barnhart, not Steve Foerster. I took his "Barnhart and Royer" to be "Barnhart and Hoyer." Dr. Steven Barnhart and Dr. Richard Hoyer have each been associated with ownership of more than one er - non-traditional distance university. As far as I know, Steve Foerster's name has not. :smile: I'm sure the search-gadget here will bring up threads with the names Barnhart and Hoyer.

Also - the countries I listed - Panama, Liberia, Honduras and Costa Rica were known years ago for making money (legally) registering/selling "flags of convenience" for ships. Corrupt officials of these countries VERY frequently enriched themselves by issuing passports. These became known as "Panlibhonco passports." That's back when I first learned of 'em -- in the 60s.

Here's a quote from Eric Ambler's "This Gun for Hire" that deals with Panlibhonco documents, at a time when such a passport commanded the "outrageous" sum of $1200:

This Gun for Hire - Eric Ambler - Google Books

That was then, this is now - I guess. Thanks for the info, Steve. :smile:

Just for fun, I checked. Our board shows 10 mentions for Dr. Barnhart and a whopping 98 for Dr. Hoyer. Perhaps the difference is because Dr. Stephen Barnhart (not Steven, as I wrongly wrote, above) lists one doctorate, while Dr. Richard Hoyer lists six. :smile:

Back to Panama -

Dr. Barnhart's Ed.D. was conferred by a Private University in Panama. An unaccredited Missouri school "merged" with the Panama entity.

Thread on this school here: http://www.degreeinfo.com/accreditation-discussions-ra-detc-state-approval-unaccredited-schools/37231-international-university-panama-accredited-legitimate-acceptable.html

Hey, it's' Kizmet's famous Perry Platypus and Doofensmirch thread! :smile:

I learned recently that THIS school: Global Evangelical Christian College & Seminary

has awarded Dr. Stephen Barnhart an honorary doctorate. I'm not surprised, considering both Dr. Barnhart and his long-time buddy Rev. Dr. Robert Ray Hill are on the Board of Commissioners and Advisors of this school:

"DR. STEPHEN BARNHART, CHANCELLOR (TIU)
GRANDVIEW MISSOURI, http://www.tiu.edu/

DR. ROBERT RAY HILL,
ERLANGER, KENTUCKY "

I note, pursuant to the above, that Dr. Barnhart was also Chancellor of the unaccredited Missouri School that "merged" with the Panama University that awarded him his Ed. D. Again, I am not surprised. :sad:

Here's quite an old picture of Dr. Barnhart: http://www.securekc.com/messag16.jpg

Here's a more recent one, from the Kansas City Cigar Aficionado Club: http://www.meetup.com/The-Kansas-City-Cigar-Aficionado-Club/members/10113402/

Honest! It's the same guy! Hair dye!
