Re: Re: Cal Coast

What error? Even critics of the value of DETC accreditation (like me) recognize its legitimacy. It is the overstating of that value that gets a response.

Who's pissed about CCU possibly getting DETC accreditation? I, for one, am all for it--if they meet DETC's standards. I've never said anything to the contrary.

 

I didn't say I was kidding around. I was commenting how entertaining this must be to certain individuals.

 

Actually, it's tedious. But also necessary. This is a free forum, and posters can print all kinds of mis-information, requiring that countering facts be presented.

So you keep settin' up and others will keep knockin' 'em down. But it would be better if you got it right instead.

 

What you did mean to say was it would be better if I agreed with you.

 

...and John and Bruce and Bill and Chip and Jack and Jeff and Tom and even the DETC--and that's just in this thread alone. They must be those experts you decry (while clearly demonstrating that you're not one, despite your penchant for posting un-facts).

IF DETC accredits CCU and IF DETC allows schools to award academic doctorates and IF CCU offers them and IF you finish one and IF you actually demonstrate some expertise in this field, then let's talk. Until then, try keeping within your meager element.

 

Rich - a serious question.

In the real world does anyone like you? You seem to lack those warm fuzzies. You need to work on it.

I had every intention of taking a DBA from CCU regardless of accreditation so I will not be displeased regardless of the outcome.

Obviously, if I complete a DBA from an institution accredited by the DETC I would be happier.

Would I be happier with an R/A DBA. Probably, but could never justify the $30 - 40,000. So it's CCU, a similar school or nothing.


Some day in the future

"Is your DBA accredited?"
"It comes from from CCU and it's accredited - you figure it out."
Hey - maybe that works.

Capt.
Read my first post a little more carefully, then you will see the error. As for you, did I ever mention your name?

Veritas,

Michael

P.S. Didn't you quit this forum for the second time?
MB

 

I'm sure it will, in some situations. But insisting on taking this tack makes you a liar. That you promote this idea here makes you an obscene liar. And you have the freakin' nerve to ask if anyone likes ME? That is soooo funny!

 

Dennis,

Do you think it is OK for a person who earns a Ph.D. from UNISA to state that they have a degree accredited by DETC, even though DETC explicity says that they only accredited UNISA's programs through first professional degrees, which does not include Ph.D.'s?

 

I will offer my two cents.

A UNISA ph.D. holds the equivalent of RA accreditation so even if DETC does not accredit the doctorate it is still accredited.

However, they would not be correct trying to claim that their RA equivalent doctorate is DETC accredited.

 

Sorry Dennis, this is nothing but a silly nonsense personal attack. I like both you and Rich but I'm disappointed that for some unknown reason you seem to lose your objectivity when Rich is involved.

 

Anyway you slice it, that's just plain deceitful.

I used to like you, Dennis, but your latest postings have turned me against you.

Best of luck trying to pass off your CCU DBA as legitimately accredited. I will do my best to expose the fact that it's not.

 

The first sentence above is of course an out and out lie.

The second sentence should read

"Great. Why thank you sir for coming in to interview. (Note to self: throw application in trash.)"

 

Re: Re: Cal Coast

Hmmm. Interesting perspective. I thought just about every comment I read was congratulating CCU for taking this step, and saying that of all the unaccredited schools they deserved it most.

 

Perhaps I'm wrong but my theory is that Dennis has such an irrational problem with Rich that he's being out of character just to try and upset Rich.

If that's the case, Dennis, then I suggest you look at it from the point of view that you're allowing Rich to control what you say.

 

I will never figure out how differing views presented on a distance education message forum could result in a feud. It does not seem worth it.

 

A "feud" requires at least two parties interested in fighting. I'm not. Please don't lump me in with Dennis.

 

I don't have any problem with Rich. He sure seems to encourage people to dislike him. I have never mentioned any of the inconsistencies in the gentleman's education career. Those you can read about on aed or other forums. People who disagree with Rich seem to disappear from degreeinfo forever. I have never used direct personal insults. The imagination can elect to interpret many of the things I say.

Rich has an agressive style which encourages retort. I play the game.

The strange thing is that I agree with 98 %(down from 99%) of the things Rich says. I just disagree when he is wrong.

California Coast works for me. If it becomes accredited wonderful. Am I going to spend time explaining to anyone that although it is accredited, it really isn't. No. Why would anyone do anything so ridiculous?

 

It seems to me that they are saying that even though CC may attain DETC accreditation the doctorate that you are pursuing would not fall under that accreditation umbrella as DETC does not accredit anything past a Masters degree?

 

Balderdash!
