Ad in the Chronicle of Higher Education this week (March 26, page A69) for The Distance Learning Center, which is putting on "Asia's Largest and Most Prestigious Academic Conference and University Fair" next September.

The website (www.distance-learning.org) turns out to be run to Anthony Al-Jamie, who has a close affiliation with Newport Asia Pacific University, the unaccredited entity apparently started by some Kensington University administrators after Kensington was closed down by the state of California.

Al-Jamie is a master of the art of -- well, what is the name for what happens when a child says to his father, "Can I go to the movies," and Dad says, "Only if your mother says it is OK," and then the child goes to the mother and says, "Dad says I can go to the movies; is it OK with you?" and so on.

Al-Jamie somehow secured the Heriot-Watt MBA agency for Japan. After the university heard from people who answered a Heriot-Watt ad but were recruited by Newport Asia Pacific, they apparently decided not to renew his contract.

Now, if we are to believe the ad, this conference is endorsed by the US Embassy, the British Council, the Australian Embassy, and the Embassy of Canada, as well as sponsored by AT&T, Time Inc., and Coca-Cola, all for the greater glory of Newport Asia Pacific University.

It would seem there is nothing illegal going on here, just a classic case of 'working the system.'

Was he ever a tenured professor anywhere?

What was his PhD in?

Klempner Wrote:Last week's Chronicle of Higher Education reported that the government of Thailand identified SCUPS as "a diploma mill" (their words, not mine) and banned them from operating there.

The February 1995 issue of Spy Magazine reported on a "sting" operation in which a number of schools, including SCUPS, agreed to sell their undercover reporter various degrees. TheSCUPS price, Spy reported, was $10,000. Two years later, SCUPS had neither asked for a retraction nor sued Spy Magazine.
