Now John Bear was telling us in 1997 that unaccredited schools were well accepted by the private business world. The Douglas research paper (2003) showed that 96% of Human Resource Managers viewed state approved schools as positive or better. Only 2% of them rejected them outright. This statement by Chip White, according to John Bear and Rich Douglas, is wrong. Was Chip lying or just ignorant, or both? who knows, but he was wrong, and provably so.
First of all the word 'may' means nothing. You may find gold or you may not. But it is apparent that Chip wanted to say unaccredited schools are all but useless and since he had no proof of anything he had to hint and indicate without offering proof. In fact from 5-10% of accredited schools have processes in place to accept degrees /credits from unaccredited schools.
This is typical of the non-proof used by the gang for years. They say it as negative as possible and fail to quote any proof whatsoever. Lies are a dime a dozen and even cheaper at DI.
By the way Chip doesn't have any degrees, accredited or unaccredited, so he doesn't know what anyone might accept. He never had a degree of any kind to present to any schools or businesses. He talks about what he has never experienced.
Where are the research studies, where is the proof of what they say.
Just remember, screaming and hollering doesn't make their unsupported 'Opinions' right, it just makes them LOUD.
There is good usage to unaccredited degrees. Is it the same as from the better accredited schools? no, but it doesn't have to be in order to be useful and of value.
Hell, it was never rocket science to know that a degree from CCU or Pacific Western wouldn't be the same as one from the University of Texas or Michigan. Bear sold the hell out of the unaccredited schools because he wanted our money. He now tells it the other way and for the same reasons, our money.
Summit University would not have and will not substitute for a degree from Harvard, but, it is a lot better than no degree and it is of usable value to MANY people. Was Summit one of the 100 good schools in the US? of course not, nor is it the lump of coal Bear now whines about. These people will sell you one thing today and another tomorrow. They neither know nor care what you really need or want. You are the customer (period). They want your money, and they will sell you degrees (from their schools) cancer cures, coffee enemas, books, pornography, you name. If they can get it they would sell it to you. Now they may well laugh at you for buying what they sell, but not until your check is safely in their bank account.
John Bear is a friend to the side that is about to win. He flip flops from side to side according to where the money is. He ahs always been that way and has shown his ignorance more than once.
Bear reviewed my resume when he had his degree consulting busines and sent me to his wife at CPU, but failed to tell me he had any financial insterest in CPU. Mistake, oversight, no, just a liar by omitting all facts. He's a big believer in not answering a question unless its asked. Then he will mold his response based on trying to take apart the question. He's the Bill Clinton of DE.
