Nonexistent professors and instructors with fake credentials
#1
I read with interest on this forum that the University of the People hires professors with a fake degree issued by the University of Life Church Big Grin Interesting.

This is the exact opposite of what the University of the People advertises, claiming to have "Nobel Prize winning" professors.

The reality is that there are no professors at all, just like in any other diploma mill. The funny thing is that if you show up with fake credentials, they "hire" you immediately to make it look like they have "academic staff" Big Grin That being said, the so-called instructors are pathetic, because they copy and paste answers generated by free AI services. In practice, they receive AI-generated material from students and then respond with AI themselves. What a joke.

In some ways, the arrival of AI has been a blessing, because it makes it possible to sell degrees even faster than when real people were needed to grade assignments and so on, at places like the University of the people.

Quote:There is no reasoning with "question." The only thing they ever post are speculative, unsourced and poorly sourced claims calling UoPeople's legitimacy into question.

It's the opposite: it's the University of the People that has to document what it claims. It says it has "many high-level professors": fine, where are they?
And don't tell me "It's true because I read it on UoPeople's website", because that's hardly an unbiased source.

What you call "no reasoning" is actually your inability to sustain the conversation.

I'm simply saying it's not true, precisely because these professors do not exist. If they do exist, then document it.

No, it was said he was hired and claimed he had a degree from Princeton. After finding out the degree was fake and his credentials invalid, he was let go.

Reading comprehension and all that.

They do, to WASC. It's part of the initial accreditation and renewal processes.

Either way, "I'm making a claim, so you have to disprove it!" is not how this works.

Wait, is this far-reaching claim based on a single hiring mistake? Out of 57,000 instructors? Wow.
