"Antarctica Journal of Mathematics"
Пришел прекрасный спам
From: anta_j_math05@yahoo.co.in
Subject: [SPAM: 14.95] sir, please submit a paper
Dear Professor
Please submit a paper to our
journal "Antarctica Journal of Mathematics"
You can also submit two hard copies and addresses of
two referees. See journal's website fr Instructions to Authors
http://www.angelfire.com/ok3/prof/journ
(адресаты - два десятка академических е-мэйлов
с maths.gla.ac.uk и maths.liv.ac.uk)
Вообще бизнес печатания математического
журнала - чрезвычайно выгоден, ибо при подписной
цене в $150/год, достаточно продать годовых
200 подписок, чтобы отбить бабки, а 200 академических
библиотек, покупающих вообще все, найдутся всяко.
А ведь можно назначить не $150/год, а $450/год,
многие так и делают и рубят бабки по-конкретному.
Соответственно, математических журналов число
удвоилось, типа, за последние 15 лет.
Но Антарктический Журнал Математики тем особенно
интересен, что издается университетом, которого реально
нет - т.е. конторой, которая продает через Интернет
дипломы о высшем образовании любому желающему.
Таких довольно много уже. В России число
высших учебных учреждений, дающих диплом,
выросло за эти 15 лет в 20 раз, в Америке,
я думаю, и того больше.
Журнал, между прочим, довольно известный.
Вот [ здесь люди обсуждают, бывает ли такой |
здесь люди издеваются над фактом его существования |
а здесь люфи радуются, что их статью туда приняли
и скоро напечатают ]
А вот домашняя страница
редактора, разноцветности необычайной просто.
Ко мне приходят тонны спама, предлагающие
за бабки настоящий университетский диплом. Причем
приходят, что самое забавное, на е-мэйл, который у меня
остался с тех самых еще времен в harvard.edu.
Привет

| Миша, Кеннеди Вестерн заставляет всеж учиться. Он состоит в detc.org, что предполагает некое аудиторство. Я,- знаю. Бумажки любому желающему дают конторы, чьи страницы выглядят подобно антарктическому журналу. Кеннеди Вестерн там просто от Хуя, нарисован; не причем он тут. Не к тому что Вы порете Хуйню, нет, а к тому что Вы по ошибке накладваете друг на друга подмножества "очень большое количество заочных учреждений" и "мириады откровенно продающих медкнижки онлайн-ларьков у метро".

...That's not the case in most states, which may be why these institutions of lower learning are proliferating. John Bear, a former FBI consultant, estimates the diploma-mill industry takes in more than $500 million a year nationwide, up from about $200 million two years ago. Alan blames the Internet. "Anybody can set up a Web site that looks like a real university," Alan says. Even people looking for legitimate mail-order or Web-based degrees can be fooled. Alan says, "It's hard to figure out who their faculty really are, hard to figure out where they are physically located. For example, Kennedy Western University has a small office in Wyoming, the only place it has a license to issue degrees. But it has a staff of 80 or 90 people in California, most of whom are telemarketers." Date: 04-06-04 10:10 Adam, BE VERY CAREFUL. Kennedy-Western University is NOT AN ACCREDITED COLLEGE OR UNIVERSITY. They are known as a DIPLOMA MILL. In fact if you use them on a resume in many states it is considered fraud. You can not use your GI Bill with them as they are not accredited. If you want to learn more about how bad Kennedy Western really is, go to www.degreeinfo.com. Click on the \"Discussion Board\" on the top of the screen. From there do a search on Kennedy Western. Kennedy Western is Licn. in Wyoming. This is far from being accredited. They were kicked out of California and some other states. In fact, California residence are not allowed to attend Kennedy Western. I can't stress how bad this schools reputation is. BE CAREFUL.

Facts: K-WU has never been accredited by any recognized agency. K-WU operated in California under the Authorized category, where it was not evaluated by state officials. K-WU still operates in California, but moved its license (twice) when state authorities changed the rules and would begin evaluating it. K-WU awards bachelor's degrees for very little work. K-WU awards life-experience credit towards its graduate degrees, based on very little or no documentation. K-WU has claimed spurious accreditation. Question: What would indicate that K-WU is anything but illegiitmate? Seriously, is there some aspect of the school that would indicate otherwise? Anything? Anything at all? Even one little thing? I'd love to hear it, because I can't recall anyone ever defending the school except by minimizing the importance of the facts listed above. Really, just one thing that other people can see that would lend credence to K-WU. Just one. Rich Douglas Senior Member Cheyenne is also home to Kennedy-Western and American Global Universities, which have small offices within a block of each other in the city's sleepy downtown. An unannounced visit to Kennedy-Western reveals a quiet and stark basement office. No one is seated at the front desk to greet visitors. After several minutes Stephanie Baty, whose business card reads "Wyoming Admissions/Coordinator of Alumni and Corporate Development," appears in the foyer. She says she is not authorized to answer reporters' questions, and says the office is primarily used for data entry. Another person works there with her, and, she says, a third person will be joining the staff shortly. The university's Web site (http://www.kw.edu) encourages students to visit its "administrative" office in Thousand Oaks, Calif., where officials say staff members in admissions, student services, information services, and accounting are located. But the university is barred from enrolling California students because it is not licensed by the California Bureau for Private Postsecondary and Vocational Education. Kennedy-Western also stopped recruiting Oregon residents through the mail after it was contacted by Drew A. Lianopoulos, an Oregon assistant attorney general. In a December letter, he said the university misleads Oregonians into believing that a Kennedy-Western degree is recognized in Oregon, which it is not. Kennedy-Western honored Mr. Lianopoulos's request even though officials said the college was doing nothing illegal. Christine S. Upton, a Los Angeles lawyer representing the university, wrote in a January letter to Mr. Lianopoulos that the U.S. Constitution does not allow Oregon to regulate a distance-learning institution licensed by another state. Kennedy-Western at one time used an Idaho mailing address, but when it sought renewal of its registration there in 1998, it was turned away by the state board of education because the university lacked accreditation. Robin Dodson, chief academic officer for the Idaho State Board of Education, estimates that Kennedy-Western's revenue is between $6-million to $10-million a year. "It's a big international operation," he says. His office used to receive as many as 200 telephone calls a month from people inquiring about the university, he adds. Kennedy-Western officials declined to reveal how many students are enrolled at the university or what percentage are from foreign countries. They say it also has offices in Jakarta, Indonesia; Moscow; and Singapore. Tuition is based on students' professional experience and ranges from $4,500 to $8,200. Kennedy-Western says students do assignments and communicate with faculty members through the Internet, telephone calls, and faxes. Students can also take exams and listen to lectures online, Kennedy-Western officials say, but the university's Web site has no links to courses, which are a common feature of accredited distance-learning institutions. The site does, however, have an array of marketing features, including audio clips of unidentified students enthusiastically promoting the college. (Reply to this) (Parent) |
