What Knightsbridge is doing is just as legal as what was done by Bear in Hawaii with Greenwich University. Greenwich was very small, was unaccredited, unevaluated by the State of Hawaii, issued degrees according to its own standards and wishes, and was highly advertised and hyped by John Bear. In this and other actions Bear was assisted by his old pal Rich Douglas.
Knightsbridge is operating legally and the degrees it issues are also legal. If this is not to someone's liking, too bad. But I'm afraid the world doesn't have to seek permission from a tired old man (John Bear) and a never was (Rich Douglas) in order to accept or reject something.
If people don't want to use schools like Greenwich or Knightsbridge then it's very simple, DON'T. But these people do not have the right to lie about the legality of a school or its degrees. It is an individual choice as to which of the legal schools (whether accredited or unaccredited) that people will make.
It seems to me that a few of these people with bottom end RA degrees are out to prove themselves as academics based on the very questionable assumption that their quicky degrees are far superior to degrees earned in other ways, not likely. Douglas got 4 degrees in 21 months, hardly a good effort. No, he is mad because Knightsbridge requires more work than his 8 week degree from Excelsior, but that is his problem, not Knightsbridge. Dr. Hayes has done more and had greater success than Douglas and it is eating the poor boy alive. All he has left is his hatred for a man who is more worthy and better educated. Dr. Hayes has a doctorate from a legally operating university, and that means his degree is also legally held and he is entitled to use the degree as best he can, and THAT IS THE END TO THIS STORY.
