So then you are agreeing with Respectable Gent, that Bear is a liar?
Nine months (long enough to get a PhD some places) and still no denial. I'll take that as a "yes."

For many years in the public he has been saying that there is no such thing as international accreditation, yet in his book he calls it "proper," and recommends internationally accredited schools to his readers.
By virtue of the fact that Bear's rep suffered no permanent damage, it looks like he did get out of this. Face it, the guy is Teflon coated. I don't know how he does it but Bear could romp around a barnyard and come out of it smelling like roses. He has done it so many times before that it can't be the result of dumb luck alone.

Funny, it seems many foreign universities from third world countries get a free pass when it comes to marketing a diploma from some foreign degree holder. My point is this; I worked with a woman from Nigeria (?) or some other African nation, it's been some years anyways, and she had an under grad degree from some university their, and she even admitted that "the text book's were outdated", and the school was "no great shakes". Yet, when applying for a government position, these schools get a free pass, as if they are accredited, and their holders are viewed as having degrees every bit as solid as the best RA degrees and a notch up from legal, valid state approved degree holders. Why? People with "state approved degrees" seem to take a back seat to many of these foreign degree holders, and in no way shape or form can anyone convince me that some of the African nations that are constantly in turmoil, have better degrees than our own "state approved" DL degrees, considering our textbooks are more current and up-to-date. I'll never buy it and find it utterly bizarre that these foreign diplomas get a free pass when it comes to hiring, even for state and county positions. Please shed some light on this bizarre state of affairs guys.

I think a good example of what you are saying is the Preston University controversy. Preston is the first "Private University in Pakistan."
A branch of this University exists in California and has become a target of the accreditation Nazis.
But interestingly enough, the Joseph Goebbels if the accreditaion mafia, Mr. Tall Magic attempted to paint the Pakistani school with the same brush but got his hands slapped....

" Plagerism"???????????
Is Huffman a fan of the Plager brothers?
Huffman is an even bigger moron than I suspected. Not just an idiot, but an illiterate idiot. Which of course makes him a perfect match as a Wikipedo editor.

Just to be factually correct, the "Ammendments" thread appears to have been started by "Engineer online123" (who lists his name as "Kashif Shah" and his hometown as "Pakistan & Saudi Arabia") and not by the idiot Huffman.
I give "Kashif" a break because English obviously is not his native tongue. Huffman, on the other hand, is a certified stalking scumbag who deserves no breaks whatsoever.
Although in Huffman's case I would have to agree that it must be very difficult for him to type accurately when he has his head so far up his ass.
