Dr. Bear, anyone, is this a legal degree?

Re: Don't be ridiculous!

If you're already convinced that they're such a wonderful school, why are you asking for our opinions?

2nd try

Q. This post and question is directed to Dr. Bear, but I encourage all to chime in. Is a degree from Lacrosse University [Louisiana] illegal.

A. The only law degree I have is the Harvard one I bought for $50 from a Florida counterfeiter, so I cannot give a legal analysis, only my opinion.

The question is analagous to asking, "Is making a right turn on a red light illegal?" Depends entirely on where you are, and the circumstances.

In my opinion, a Lacrosse University degree is illegal in Oregon (and some other states), but legal in Louisiana (and some other states), and, more than likely, in a grey area in yet other states.

It is the lack of certainty or uniformity that keeps many lawyers in business, and causes many tear-stained letters to be sent to me.

Now, if the question were:

Q. Is a degree from Sinte Gleska University in Rosebud, South Dakota legal?

The answer would be:

A. Yes.

 

Re: Interesting?!

...just a tip - the past tense of 'speaks' is not 'has spoke', but is 'SPUK'.

A Louisianan non-RA institution degree has no ethical utilitarian usefulness.

OK for secondary pissing contests and booking restaurants seats.

If one suits your purpose from a non-academic and non-vocational viewpoint, go for it, but AFTER you are more than adequately ACADEMICALLY and PROFESSIONALLY qualified.

As an aside - have you ever seen the use for tits on a bull? If you have, then you'll really appreciate the usefulness of a LA non-RA degree.

I have 'spuk'

Simple question

Tom,

The question is not if LU is a “wonderful” school. “Wonderful” is a subjective description and depends on variables (might be wonderful to one who can not afford an RA, doesn’t need a professional license, and not transferring to an RA school). Schools like Pensacola Bible Institute and Bob Jones are state licensed (not accredited by an accrediting agency recognized by US Department) and award respected (legitimate) degrees in many fields not relating to religion. Lacrosse graduates are employed by and many have their courses paid for by respectable organizations/corporations, per Lacrosse web site and literature.

The question is if a degree from LU is legal and/or legitimate?

 

Thank You!

Dr. Bear,

Thank you for fast response!

You answered my question and have proven why so many respect your input.

God Speed!

 

Re: Simple question

On behalf of Tom, who at the moment is in the tiolet, I will answer AUTHORITATIVELY ...

As with Summit University of Louisiana and American Coastline University, the Board of regents will attenst to the degree's validity and legality but will emphasise beyond any shade of doubt or confusion, that this DOES NOT attest to the qulaity of the degree program, and that the BoA does NOT have any part on assessing or requiring and qulaity control of the academic activities in any way.

Write to them and ask them? I did...

 

Fair enough!

Mr. French,

Fair response! I understand and agree with your assessment.

 

Lacrosse University legally passes GAAS. This, of course, does not make it any more or less odiferous than an institution that passes GAAS illegally.

 

Re: Don't be ridiculous!

Justsurfing,

Sir, you disappointment me. Burlap University and Jai Lai University requires study from college level textbooks. There are also very strict completion requirements. You have not attended either of these colleges so how can you say such things?

I never would have guessed that you, Justsurfing, of all people would show such an elitest attitude just because your Lacrosse University just happens to have a business license. With such an elitest attitude as this I'm not so sure that we want Lacrosse University joining the NWCAA. (Lacrosse wouldn't have a chance against Burlap's Bag Racers anyway.) Burlap University and Jai Lai University must both be SUPERIOR to Lacrosse University because Lacrosse only plans on applying for DETC accreditation and Burlap and Jai Lai Universities are planning on eventually applying for RA!

Having much fun,
Bill Huffman

 

Re: Simple question

Might be; but if I were in that situation I'd go with South Africa, which can run even cheaper.

Well. Who am I to argue with Lacrosse's promotional literature?

I second Peter's post on the "Is Lacrosse operating legally?" question, BTW; and if you look at the thread, you'll notice that nobody has said or implied that Lacrosse isn't operating legally. But if you're asking for my advice (and that seems to be what you're doing), I still say that you should go with a recognized credential first; bachelor's degrees are a dime a dozen, and if you really, really want to study with Lacrosse, you can always do their bachelor's as a second degree. But if you don't go with something recognized, you'd be stuck falling back on a high school diploma if scandal were to break loose.

Oh, and for the record: I never recommend Bob Jones or Pensacola Bible College, either.



Cheers,

 

I can't help it. I just LOVE the idea of Burlap University. BU? No, that would be confused with Boston University...How about BLU? Known as the Baggies?

What would the school's academic colors look like? Would Doctoral hoods be lined in silk burlap? Or these days, maybe nylon artificial silk fake burlap?

Maybe the bookstore would be contracted out to Sak's?

Burlap University is so honored by your interest, consider yourself a BS (Bag Science) degree holder.

 

If you are not happy with a BS from burlap, how about an honest to god PhD for studying BS.
Rapid diagnosis of rotaviruses

 

Quite Interesting!

Actually I found the topic to be quite fascinating... My employer has sunk megabucks into the research and production of vaccines for rotoviruses. I am in favor of any tools that will enable rapid detection of these viruses. They can be quite nasty when an adult picks them up.

Regards,

Dick

Rapid diagnosis of rotaviruses [/QUOTE]

 

Rotaviruses cause approximately 1 million deaths (of humans) each year. The vaccine is targeted at human rotaviruses rather than the bovine strains (which don't infect humans). Nevertheless, it does appear to be an interesting dissertation, though I'm surprised they aren't using PCR-based methods (which would have much better sensitivity and specificity). But I presume that PCR is still too expensive for routine use, especially in veterinary applications.
