Bear always seemed able to land on his feet no matter how he fell off the building. He and Conty will simply say they were right and the new changes wrong. I've tried giving them facts and numbers and it meant nothing. They will just tell you that you are wrong and are ignorant. Many people have posted long reasonable replies to their crap to have them say nope you're wrong. You can't argue with people who have an agenda. Bear's thing was always about HIM. Bear had to look good no matter how he had to fudge facts and history or what he was required to say.
To be blunt. You can't argue with a vain, snotty, self absorbed dickhead. Especially if the guy is looking to be paid for being one.
State approved schools were never degree mills as some would claim (mostly people who have bottom end RA degrees). Bear used the term State Approved many years to show schools as being good. It was a very huge turn when he then started using the same form of recognition, and it is recognition, to say it's bad to useless.
Bear wanted to shift over to accredited schools to look for new ways of making money so it was time for the state recognized schools to be dumped. Next he stopped saying accredited was good, it had to be regional accreditation.
So we have these three steps.
1-It has to be state recognized to be good.
2-Now it must be accredited to be good.
3-Next it must be regionally accredited to be good.
Here is what I think. It has to pay well, and then Bear will say it's good.
Most people wanted degrees for self-satisfaction or to top off a career. They didn't give a damn about accredited or state licensed. They wanted legal, not too difficult, not too expensive, but not a mill. Bear knew this and gave them what they wanted. When that market got away from him and others started making big bucks from that idea he turned away from state legal and turned to accredited. Follow the dollars and you will find the old boy's trail and what he claims to believe.
