Degreeinfo's Chip White Exposed as Academic Fraud

[Administrator]

From ArmedForces.net:

Degreeinfo.com's Chip White has been exposed as an academic fraud by the Oberlin College registrar.

White, who leads a cadre of vicious busy bodies and civil rights violators who purport to expose "degree mills" and "degree fraud," has been discovered to be misrepresenting his own academic credentials, or lack thereof.

On his MySpace web page White describes his education like this:

http://www.myspace.com/calchip

Chip's Schools
Oberlin College 1988 to 1990
Oberlin, OHIO
Graduated: N/A
Student status: Alumni
Degree: Bachelor's Degree

But the Registrar's Office at Oberlin College tells a completely different story:

Academic record listed under T. Chip White
Admitted to Oberlin February 1987
Attended up to May 22, 1989
Did not attain a degree from Oberlin College

White lied about having a degree, and lied about his dates of attendance in his failed effort to obtain one.

This is publicly available information that anyone can obtain with a simple email to Oberlin College. But why is it that the self-appointed "experts" like Gollum, Sainz, Doogle Arse, Janko and the rest of John Bear's vaunted "research" staff never revealed this information?

Did they know and decide not to reveal the truth, or are they just incompetent dolts? It's either one or the other.

This is just another in a series of embarrassing revelations about White, who was lauded on page 10 of John Bear's recent book for his contributions in exposing purported degree fraud.

It turns out that while Bear and his minions were sniffing through other people's personal business, they were supporting White's pedophile pandering pornography business.

White also ran a quack "cancer cure" clinic in Tijuana and claims to be an expert at administering useless coffee enemas to dying cancer victims.

White continues his work in the gay and pedophile pornography business from his new home in Granite Bay, California.

From ArmedForces.net:

"Once I thought about it," says Dr. Bear, "choosing DegreeInfo.com to help us do our research just made perfect sense. Not only do they have the experience and expertise required for this project, but they also have the manpower we needed to get everything done on a tight time line."

"It worked out really really well," says Chip White, the original founder of DegreeInfo.com. "We were already doing this research for ourselves, so the only difference was that we had to do it on the publisher's schedule, which wasn't a problem at all. Also, it was an incredible honor to work with the Bears, and on the book that launched John's reputation as the foremost authority on distance learning."

An honor indeed, yet Dr. Bear feels much the same way about Chip and his staff. "They made my life so much easier. They did the parts that I just don't have time for anymore, and only called on me to ask questions, and then at the end to review their work - which was excellent. Between their research and my daughter's help, it was a mostly painless process for me."

After all, who would know more about academic fraud and deviant conduct than an academic fraud and deviant???

From ArmedForces.net:

Nice work (again), guys.

You know, my first thought when I read this was that it might be getting a bit redundant. White already was a complete laughing stock after the revelations about his disgusting and fraudulent "enema" and "cancer cure" enterprises.

Then the pedo-pandering porn scandal pretty much wiped him out, errr, I mean, eliminated him, errr, I mean destroyed whatever credibility he might have had left in the distance learning area.

But you hit on the real reason why this is still important. Those are three very important and seriously credibility-destroying bits of information....yet none of them was revealed by the "Page Ten Experts."

I call them the "Page Ten Experts" because these are the usual suspects we saw at DI and continue to see now at DD, the people John Bear thanked at page 10 of his recent book as being ever so helpful to him with their "research" and contributions.

Sainz ("major research"), Gollum ("copious research"), Douglas, George Brown, Levicoff, Janko, Dayson, even The Fat Homo, Alan Contreras. Not one word from any of them about the fraud and perversion of the DegreeInfo king pin.

So you actually are exposing all of them as frauds and incompetents as well. Whatever minimal credibility they might have had bestowed on them by the "poacher turned game keeper" Bear has been shredded. Somehow with all their "copious research" they couldn't find any of this stuff.

As you say, either they knew and hushed it up, or they have no credibility whatsoever as "researchers." It has been made very clear again that they have an agenda and any "research" they might actually do (i.e., beyond just their usual lies and innuendo) is done with blinders on.

I stated on Degree Info years ago that most if not all who so violently condemn others as academic frauds, have something to hide themselves.  What have we learned since then?  We have learned that some of those have unaccredited degrees themselves, some have engaged in unethical and immoral practices all the while attacking others as unethical and immoral, and some have engaged in quackery all the while accusing others of the same.  What a bunch of losers, whiners, and blatant hypocrites!

Now that same motley crew is dragging Otho Allen Ezell, Jr. into their web to attempt to give this rag-tag team some form of credibility. This is very unfortunate as it will reflect negatively on all former federal agents and drag his employer (http://www.Wachovia.com) down as well.

Isn't that something? John Bear goes out and hires himself a high school graduate to help him decide the proper means of earning college degrees. Bear has never earned any type of DL degree and Chip has never earned any degrees from any source.

They are all a BUNCH OF PHONIES. They want our money and respect and they deserve neither. If DI is fool enough to kiss their feet and scream master, then so be it, but WE know better.

What is really ironic is that John Bear's wife has a Ph.D. in Eithcs. Obviously, he didn't help her with the research for her dissertation. And obviously, he never learned anything from her studies.

[Randall Flagg]

If she wants a case study in lack of ethics she should check out old "do as I say and not as I have done" who is living in the same house with her.  John has sold everything from milled degrees to unaccredited degrees.  He can't recall if he owned 25% or 50% of Greenwich, nor if he sold or gave it to John Walsh.  He doesn't know if he was the full-time or part-time president for Greenwich and IIAS. If he doesn't know what he did and why, well, maybe we have a need for some ethics work here.

Then John Bear denied that he told John Walsh he would stay on at Greenwich as a consutant for $125K. This is tantamount to calling John Walsh a liar.

I believe that John Bear has been selling himself for so many years that he can't just tell the truth about anything to do with DL. He has told the stories so many different ways (according to his needs at the time) that he can't possibly reconcile them.  I mean how do you not know if you were an equal partner or a minority stockholder?  How do you not know if you ran a school full-time or not?

Here is what I think he does.  He tells what he needs to tell at the time to fit the situation.  If Summit needs to be good today, it is, if it needs to be bad next year, it is.  Now that may be just fine for him and his bank account, but it plays hell with the resume of people who bought his guides as being guides and not just a profit making scheme for Bear. Those people who obtained degrees from CPU-Summit-Kennedy Western, based on Bear having said they were good schools have the right to be highly angered at him for not sticking to the label he stuck on the schools.  According to Bear truth and accuracy have an expiration date.  I'm sure people such as Geroge Washington and Abraham Lincoln would find that a very interesting and disgusting manner of thinking.  The truth is a very wonderful and simple thing and is repeatable over and over while lies are muddy and deep, and damn hard to repeat accurately, just ask John Bear, he knows that only too well, NOW, THANKS TO US.  

"All truth is safe and nothing else is safe; and he who keeps back the truth, or withholds it from men, from motives of expedience, is either a coward or a criminal, or both."
--Max Muller

Sounds very familiar, and accurate, doesn't it?

Think Bear will be saying in ten more years that UOP/Excelsior/TESC/Union, are fine schools and just as accredited as any other school? Don't bet the farm on it. People had best wake up and strat THINKING for themselves. He wants your money and will tell you what is required to get it. He did that at Columbia Pacific University, at LIAR, at Greenwich, at Millard Fillmore, at IIAS, at Herriot Watt, and at Fairfax. The common theme here, YOUR MONEY, his Pockets.

Some of Dr. Bear's past involvements do concern me. However, I like Dr. Bear because he is very, very cautious in calling schools mills. As far as recommending some schools and then being critical of them, well, things change. Union is an example of an RA school that is not highly recommended today by two of its graduates--Drs. Levicoff and Douglass.

The only reason Mr. Bear does not call blatant "degree by COD" programs is that he is scared to death of being sued. He skirts around the issue by calling them "less than wonderful." Referring to "Drs. Levicoff and Douglass" as anything other than the gay truck driver and the prison guard, must be a bad joke. That is tantamount to calling Gollin a qualified CHEA Commissioner.
