Quote:Degreeinfo.com's Chip White has been exposed as an academic fraud by the Oberlin College registrar.

White, who leads a cadre of vicious busy bodies and civil rights violators who purport to expose "degree mills" and "degree fraud," has been discovered to be misrepresenting his own academic credentials, or lack thereof.

On his MySpace web page White describes his education like this:

Quote:Chip's Schools
Oberlin College 1988 to 1990
Oberlin, OHIO
Graduated: N/A
Student status: Alumni
Degree: Bachelor's Degree

But the Registrar's Office at Oberlin College tells a completely different story:

Quote:
Academic record listed under T. Chip White
Admitted to Oberlin February 1987
Attended up to May 22, 1989
Did not attain a degree from Oberlin College

White lied about having a degree, and lied about his dates of attendance in his failed effort to obtain one.

This is publicly available information that anyone can obtain with a simple email to Oberlin College. But why is it that the self-appointed "experts" like Gollum, Sainz, Doogle Arse, Janko and the rest of John Bear's vaunted "research" staff never revealed this information?

Did they know and decide not to reveal the truth, or are they just incompetent dolts? It's either one or the other.

This is just another in a series of embarrassing revelations about White, who was lauded on page 10 of John Bear's recent book for his contributions in exposing purported degree fraud.

It turns out that while Bear and his minions were sniffing through other people's personal business, they were supporting White's pedophile pandering pornography business.

White also ran a quack "cancer cure" clinic in Tijuana and claims to be an expert at administering useless coffee enemas to dying cancer victims.

White continues his work in the gay and pedophile pornography business from his new home in Granite Bay, California.

Quote:"Once I thought about it," says Dr. Bear, "choosing DegreeInfo.com to help us do our research just made perfect sense. Not only do they have the experience and expertise required for this project, but they also have the manpower we needed to get everything done on a tight time line."

"It worked out really really well," says Chip White, the original founder of DegreeInfo.com. "We were already doing this research for ourselves, so the only difference was that we had to do it on the publisher's schedule, which wasn't a problem at all. Also, it was an incredible honor to work with the Bears, and on the book that launched John's reputation as the foremost authority on distance learning."

An honor indeed, yet Dr. Bear feels much the same way about Chip and his staff. "They made my life so much easier. They did the parts that I just don't have time for anymore, and only called on me to ask questions, and then at the end to review their work - which was excellent. Between their research and my daughter's help, it was a mostly painless process for me."

After all, who would know more about academic fraud and deviant conduct than an academic fraud and deviant???

Quote:Nice work (again), guys.

You know, my first thought when I read this was that it might be getting a bit redundant. White already was a complete laughing stock after the revelations about his disgusting and fraudulent "enema" and "cancer cure" enterprises.

Then the pedo-pandering porn scandal pretty much wiped him out, errr, I mean, eliminated him, errr, I mean destroyed whatever credibility he might have had left in the distance learning area.

But you hit on the real reason why this is still important. Those are three very important and seriously credibility-destroying bits of information....yet none of them was revealed by the "Page Ten Experts."

I call them the "Page Ten Experts" because these are the usual suspects we saw at DI and continue to see now at DD, the people John Bear thanked at page 10 of his recent book as being ever so helpful to him with their "research" and contributions.

Sainz ("major research"), Gollum ("copious research"), Douglas, George Brown, Levicoff, Janko, Dayson, even The Fat Homo, Alan Contreras. Not one word from any of them about the fraud and perversion of the DegreeInfo king pin.

So you actually are exposing all of them as frauds and incompetents as well. Whatever minimal credibility they might have had bestowed on them by the "poacher turned game keeper" Bear has been shredded. Somehow with all their "copious research" they couldn't find any of this stuff.

As you say, either they knew and hushed it up, or they have no credibility whatsoever as "researchers." It has been made very clear again that they have an agenda and any "research" they might actually do (i.e., beyond just their usual lies and innuendo) is done with blinders on.

Richard Kimble Wrote:I stated on Degree Info years ago that most if not all who so violently condemn others as academic frauds, have something to hide themselves.  What have we learned since then?  We have learned that some of those have unaccredited degrees themselves, some have engaged in unethical and immoral practices all the while attacking others as unethical and immoral, and some have engaged in quackery all the while accusing others of the same.  What a bunch of losers, whiners, and blatant hypocrites!

Randall Flagg Wrote:Isn't that something?  John Bear goes out and hires himself a high school graduate to help him decide the proper means of earning college degrees.  Bear has never earned any type of DL degree and Chip has never earned any degrees from any source.  

They are all a BUNCH OF PHONIES.  They want our money and respect and they deserve neither. If DI is fool enough to kiss their feet and scream master, then so be it, but WE know better.

Randall Flagg Wrote:If she wants a case study in lack of ethics she should check out old "do as I say and not as I have done" who is living in the same house with her.  John has sold everything from milled degrees to unaccredited degrees.  He can't recall if he owned 25% or 50% of Greenwich, nor if he sold or gave it to John Walsh.  He doesn't know if he was the full-time or part-time president for Greenwich and IIAS. If he doesn't know what he did and why, well, maybe we have a need for some ethics work here.  

Richard Kimble Wrote:Some of Dr. Bear's past involvements do concern me.  However, I like Dr. Bear because he is very, very cautious in calling schools mills.  As far as recommending some schools and then being critical of them, well, things change.  Union is an example of an RA school that is not highly recommended today by two of its graduates--Drs. Levicoff and Douglass.
