Rogue's Gallery

Have you ever taken a look at SRU's faculty pictures? Good Lord what a rogue's gallery of characters they are!

I've been following them now for a while, and at least some of them started out as interested applicants on their discussion board, quickly promoted to professors and faculty as they latched more onto the fantasy that is their advanced degree.

I hope I don't get sued for telling the truth! LOL

 

Amazing bunch - and they have no shame to boot.

I think they really are proud of their school. I hope those guys aren't the ones who had to buy their professorships.

 

Yes, but in order to receive their degree they had to have their pictures displayed on www.uglypeople.com

 

Without a doubt, my favorite faculty lineup was at Central Pacific University. The faculty pictures & bios were only on the webpage for a week or so, but were they entertaining. Any of the other old a.e.d. people remember the "grinning wazoo" (as Steve Levicoff so eloquently put it) that was wearing the priest's collar?

 

> at least some of them started out as interested applicants
> on their discussion board, quickly promoted to professors

One SRU professor started out on our message board -- showing a healthy skepticism, as far as I can judge from his emoticons:

 

Yeah, but by his third post he was casting aspersions on Dr. Bear, and as soon as you exposed Dr. Eydler (posting here as BE10sCoach) as a shill, he high-tailed it out of here.

 

I had a bit of a chuckle over this post involving SRU's
lack of good looks. As an SRU alumni, I would like to point you to my website to prove at least us students don't qualify for
uglypeople.com was it?

ok ok I'll fess up I have a good plastic surgeon.....I think women in their 40's can show those young pups a thing or two!

oh, don't worry, it's not a porn site or anything.....

I'm no trouble maker.....

 

dcollin,
If these pictures are of you, then I must admit that you are an attractive woman. But why would you go after a degree from a know diploma mill? You could have easily earned a degree from an accredited (RA or GAAP) school and saved yourself the embarrassment and risk of having a "ticking time bomb".

 

I already have a degree via traditional class attendance university,
although the university I attended was RA, the music dept. was not accredited, the cirriculum was not RA but the degree was???
I was asked to participate in the student comittee when the
accrediting agency came visiting...it was pending when I finished up my schooling. SRU, well I actually got my chain yanked quite a bit, being a music major tends to do that....but I got involved beacuse of their humanitarian drive. I did a hell of a lot of research and the funds were indeed going to build some educational system in Liberia. Kind of a which came first, the PhD or the University. Hopefully such countries will be able to be educated enough to vote and handle a democracy.
I guess musicians are always too political and too idealistic....but the world does need dreamers.
Deb

 

fruits of your research, please

Ms. Collins:

Would you post the evidence you found in your research that convinced you that the majority of donated funds were actually being used to further the educational system in Liberia?

The goals of a charitable campaign mounted by an organization that has, for example, vigorously misrepresented its standing (or lack thereof) with IAU/UNESCO might be viewed as suspect by some. Your findings might reduce their level of distrust.

Actually I had my lawyer look into it, but I'll be all to happy to get said proof. I do know this that the professors don't get paid unless they actually put or borrow a degree program and implement it with students....so the professor's are not
in it for the money. where it goes....who can say, but when the drive was going on,. SRU matched the funds...and since I gave
a couple of grand to the fund as well....they must be saving
money somewhere...actually you guys are making me think...

SRU is fiscally sound as an institution as they don't pay prof. much unless they work for it....and I do know most are retired
or are fiscally unstable individually....I should check into
by stock if possible....

Now, my degree is legal as I have what you call a "real one" to back it up....most places biggest crime is that they take the students word for it....it takes 2 to tango, kind sirs,

also down here in south louisiana it is far more embarrassing
to have a Louisiana degree than anything else....

I've actually tried to buy degrees but they actually want me to
work for it, SRU a few years ago had my institution send the transcripts to them, they didn't take my word for it.
why me?

Also with the "dumbing down" in America I don't want an American Degree....I wanted a german degree initially since
that's where it all happened, or western europe....



Actually I did buy a degree once in International Diplomany
when asked on their site what my life experience, etc was...
I simply stated I had an affair with an Ambassador.

I qualified.

thought you might get a kick out of it....


Actually the best American schools are abroad....and all the ambassadors, etc whether they be Spanish, Italian, German,
etc....send their children to the American schools, my ambassador
was from Europe and was at his embassy in Tokyo, he sent his children to the American school and he told me all the ambassadors did, yet they would NEVER consider an American school in the continental US....intersting.






as far as regular traditional degrees.....where's the fun in that?

In south Louisiana, (I am from Florida originally) fraud and
corruption are celebrated..

tis an art form learned by the Master, Gov. Edwin Edwards....
who at least got into trouble for millions of dollars,
not over an intern and the waste of a good cigar.


...I passed my math requirements due to my long legs and cleavage in this neck of the woods...

and your mission is succeeding it's harder and harder to just buy a degree, and I'm not going go as far as to sleep with anyone to get it....


so I'm straight up with you guys....I'm no spy, but I will tell you,
this post about what people look like....at first was off putting,
I have stayed out of the fued....ok, I'll fess up,
I didn't know what DI was at the SRU forum, I guessed "delusional idiots" I've seen a few here reading so many posts today, and tons of them on the net....

Every forum has them...the hot head, the rational ones, the kind ones...and the game players......ah well such is the net...

great, isn't it?



As far as SRU faculty goes, they are really a group of decent people....and some are truly putting forth efforts to get their course outlines in order, some alreday have....
I've gotten to know them and what ever your issues are...how many issues you have, is not myarea of expertise....but
I read people very well and even in the heat of an argument,
they will turn on a dime and offer whatever help you need.

As I'm sure there are such good people here as well.

so,
there you have it...that's who I am, what I'm about...no games,
no spying...although that would have been more intriguing,

nice posting with you guys, and I like your links....

Deb

 

ditto

 

it does not compute

Thanks--

I do know this that the professors don't get paid unless they actually put or borrow a degree program and implement it with students....

What is the source of your information?

...when the drive was going on,. SRU matched the funds...

How do you know this to be true?

Also with the "dumbing down" in America I don't want an American Degree....

You said Louisiana... how does Tulane come up short in your evaluation?


as far as regular traditional degrees.....where's the fun in that?

Well, you learn stuff. Maybe that's why some people go to RA schools.

As far as SRU faculty goes, they are really a group of decent people....

So how come they work with people who fake up an embassy and market quack cancer treatments?

G

 

This is a JOKE.... but I can't help myself...

I guess the fake degree goes well with the fake boobs...

What a babe!

I'm signing up at SRU's night classes NOW!!!!!

 

Wow

 

wow I had no idea I was facing an inquisition...

first, the people at SRU are indeed decent people,
I read people well have met them and they have never posted
anything like the origins of this thread....I wasn't offended,
and had fun disputing your theory of SRU and the lack of
outer beauty.
But it is a topic I would not start about any other person or institution. So I don't feel I have to justify myself to those who would make fun or insult others on looks alone.

I will justify what is important...first we ALL have skeletons in our closests..a few members here have pasts as I have found out
that is not what they wish to be made public.
Even skeletons don't hamper my view of people, h owever
I have met with SRU people and their lack of financial security
is obvious....to be blunt. I'm rich...and many that I have met are not. Obviously the professors at SRU are not getting rich via that venue.
The money is going elsewhere.


Tulane is a private university....as is Loyola, and
depending on the department can be good.
Loyola is k nown in south louisiana public universities
as a "pay your fee's and get your B's'. I personally know
many kind people who do not deserve their degrees, complete
idiots in their professions, but could afford Loyola.


I am confused a bit, I saw a thread at SRU where the notorious MR. Bear had included SRU in one of his books and gave it high marks. SRU read between the lines, but I could not as I don't have the baggage and history with the kind Mr. Bear.

As far as your accusations of a fake embassy, I had never heard of that and I don't claim to dispute it. Since you made the statement, the burden of proof is on you, please enlighten me.


I am browsing around for a European PhD in music education or a Dr. Mus. Ed...actually SRU may be on my list, or at least a starting place in case I find one to transfer to.

As far as my comment about getting a non RA degree being
no fun, I was teasing, I learned quite a bit during my studies at SRU, and I've learned quite a bit from my friends in a wonderful
city called Omaha. One recording session does not make me a star, but I learned it's something I never want to make a career out of....looks good on a resume considering the bloody CD went quad platinum. (I got paid all of $90, I should have taken my attorney with me before I signed anything) No, it won't count for college credit, but
no one can take away the experience and the adventure of learning from me.

No one can license or accredit my heart.

Any other questions you have, direct them to SRU, I have quite a few questions of my own aoubt certain people here, but I'm not here to put anyone on the spot, just here to check out your links and prove I'm not quite
ugly.
Life is too short for wars and enemies....

So Deb,

Does SRU actually teach any classes? I thought that they mostly mailed out diplomas for a fee and "life experience"? I assumed that they gave out professorships for a fee and then used these "professors" to help them drum up more business? Do you know of any SRU "professors" that have taught any students that they didn't bring in themselves? Why else would SRU charge for professorships? I assumed that it was somehow just buying in to be part of the scam?

As an example of SRU "academic value", one experiment indicated that 75% of the time if the answers were chosen totally randomly, one would pass the SRU test indicating that an AA degree had been earned and all you needed to do was send in the money and get the diploma. If true, wouldn't you consider this fraudulent?

P.S. nice pictures

 

well, they didn't acced my RA degree immediately,
this was before they were in Liberia, and there were subjects
in my degree which differed from their requirements. They sent me educational errands...topics to look up and write essays on.
And usually the essay wasn't enough...I once wrote essays on the stylistic aspects of the different periods of music. I was requested to elaborate more on the pre-baroque period.
I assumed this was some sort of music history course.
When I finally got my transcripts, there was a survey course on the great composers, which I thought was bogus, I let them know I never took the course, and was told the research plus 2 years as a piano performance major counted towards the course.
If I could play and understand stylistic differences plus write an essay on each period and one Huge essay comparing and contrasting the periods, it qualified for the survey course.
So 2 years of performance and the horrors of memorization before changing majors and all those essays counted for the one course.

So in that course the standards were high. For other courses,
I was asked to write essays, take tests, be interviewed, etc. to prove my knowledge. So I learned through independant study/research but it was structured.

hope this satifies your curiosity.l

Oh puhleeeze!

"They didn't accept my RA degree immediately".....

All SRU needs to accept in order to grant the "degree" is a credit card and a barely intelligible statement of life experience.

I am sorry, but I believe the beautiful yet misguided Ms. Collins is lying.

Lying through her lovely smile, hoping her lovely long legs and enticing cleavage will sort of make us all say - "oh well!" Tempting, but NOoooooo!!!!

No one who gets a "degree" from SRU has ever had to do any academic work of any kind beyond what I described in the second paragraph of this post.

As far as being sent on all these "academic errands" and all the other crap about the professors and how nice they all are, maybe some of that has a bit of truth since the SRU "professors" are kind of like this little club of co-conspirators who have all received degrees from SRU, and now are valiantly trying to convince themselves and the rest of the world that they are really professors.... I'm surprised that Ms. Collins isn't in their ranks by this point - my guess is that we'll see her picture on the SRU faculty list shortly.

How simply and utterly ridiculous!

And what are these "other courses" that she is talking (i.e., lying) about? There ARE NO COURSES!

She also mentioned the phrase "before they were in Liberia" - that must have been the even stricter Island of Dominca phase, but SRU admin has conveniently forgotten that phase and now claims that they were ALWAYS a Liberian institution (at least since the 1980s). So.... I'm wondering if the SRU folks in charge have not properly briefed the lovely Ms. Collins on the whole party line before she came in here? Could cause trouble, because SRU doesn't like stuff posted in the light of day where contradictions can easily be revealed, even by their own "students".

Finally, if the 5th grade command of spelling and language that Ms. Collins uses in her posts here are any indication of the "quality of education" that she has received, not just at SRU but throughout her life, she is in serious need of a real institution of higher (or even secondary) learning before getting that prized PhD from good old SRU!

(Sorry Deb, your purty but yer story just don't hold water....)
