"I have withdrawn from the MIGS Ph.D. program. It has become clear to me that, despite a wonderful opportunity, they have no intention of running a distance learning graduate school."
--Rich Douglas--Degreeinfo--6-26--2001
"Needless to say, I have, this evening, resigned as a faculty member for MIGS, since my ONLY reason for staying on was my promise to work with Rich in his doctoral program, and I look forward to doing just that in another, happier venue."
--John Bear--Degreeinfo--6-26-2001
Of course it is obvious they had this joint farewell notice planned in advance. Like a couple of gang members they work in a team to blow the smoke saying MIGS is wonderful and then in combination to cover their trail. Always confuse and double-speak. For over a year they say MIGS is real, legitimate, sincere, and then, since that time, they tell us, "But we were misled--we were confused--we didn't know." On the one hand they want us to call them 'DL Experts' yet look how easily they are lost in the wilderness, maybe, but they were most likely in the know as to how bad MIGS was and really just wanted to use a school that they wrongly believed could be a souce of a degree that Douglas could in some way defend as something. He desperately wanted a Ph.D. to build up his soft resume, but unfortunately he was unwilling to do any serious work so that narrowed it down to schools that would accept his past toilet schools-Excelsior / National-- so that made MIGS or Union as the only options. MIGS fell apart at the seems and that left the skunk of the RA world--Union. Bear guaranteed payment and they took their lost child (Douglas) back and allowed him to do a 9 months doctorate. Now he is Dr. Douglas, if, that is, you accept the likes of Union as a decent source to a doctorate, many won't.
So you have the two choices regarding MIGS.
1-They were fools.
2-They knew and tried to make use of a toliet. MIGS
They will lie and mislead anytime it is to their benefit. That is why Summit was good one year (1995) and all but useless the next (1996). Good or bad, it just depends on what their needs are, not what the school really is. The truth is $$$$$$ is their first and last love, along with what they see in the mirror.
