Talk:Rochville University
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Accreditation controversy - reference needed
- "However, some argue that Rochville University is properly accredited school since accreditation associations are private companies (the ones recognized by US Department of Education and Council for Higher Education Accreditation)."
I have removed the above text from the article; if a reliable source can be found to support the arguments of "some," then it would have a place there. Robertissimo 02:47, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] News ref
[1] has coverage of a court case, in which Rochville is relevant. Morwen - Talk 02:13, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Defense of Rochville University
I removed the content below from the article. The source (this webpage) does not appear to be WP:RS (but I can't tell) and the insert did not indicate what the context is. Some of this content may be included, but it would need to be cleaned up. --Orlady (talk) 15:42, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
US: do you know that since 2003, Rochville University has faced criticsim and that the police had to review 700 cases because a man who claimed to be a forensic expert and obtained degrees from the same university as you( maybe in fooling them) was not what he pretented to be? What do you have to answer to that?
Lord of Redwoods: -In the mean time, even this university might not have a good reputation who could blame the university. I mean the university should maybe not be considered as a diploma mill because some students work really hard in there. It is not because it is an affordable university that it should be considered as a diploma mill. Of course some people might have used that in a fraudulent way but even people in France for example might buy degrees as in Rochville or elsewhere with a dispositive called V.A.E which stands for life experience degree(Validation des Acquis de l'Experience. Rochville University asks you to provide a full resume of your life and your activities and or to attach a candidate statement. Then if someone choose to give fake infos and credentials in order to obtain a life experience degree, it is the person who is responsible and absolutely not the university. Furthermore accreditation is given according to the beliefs of a group of individuals. And beliefs of what is true or not or on what is good or not might varry from a group of individuals to another. In conclusion, Monrovia University is not a,n accretited university but it is not a reason to try to say that all the persons who obtained a degree there are non competent. And finally if an individual didn't study it would be discovered in a way or another. Finally a university is not supposed to substitute the State authorities and to check the identity of its students. <ref>Interview accorded by the Lord of Redwoods to the Redwoodian online magazine(see the link above to read the full interview)</ref>
The Lord of Redlands website looks like a thinly veiled facade for the one apparently bogus interview article you linked to, i.e., not even an article author is named. There appears to be nothing else on the webpage. Just that one apparently bogus interview article. No identification as to who or what a Lord of Redlands is. It most definitely is not a reliable source. The contact info links you to an email address, theredwoodianwebmaster@bluebootle.com. It is apparently trying to pretend to be french but whois on bluebootle.com produces
