Quote:Take Elisabetta Prencipe for example. GIU lists her as an Affiliate Professor for their university and a Lecturer at the Frankfurt School of Finance and Management. But she isn't listed anywhere on the Frankfurt School of Finance and Management's website. Also, she holds no degrees in finance or anything even close; her LinkedIn claims she holds a doctorate in nuclear and subnuclear (?) physics. But she never got an undergraduate degree in physics. The closest she came was a diploma in English/Language Arts.
There is an Elisabetta Prencipe who is a particle physicist. And her LinkedIn page lists her presently as a member of the Belle II experimental group at the Justus Liebig University Giessen (JLU). How is a full-time research particle physicist serving as a lecturer in finance and management while, at the same time, serving as an Affiliate Professor at GIU?
IMHO you are overanalyzing a bit in this direction, she was lecturer at that uni and was listed on their website while she was lecturer, she ended last year. She didn't lecture finance there. That she didn't list her undergrad degree doesn't mean that much, there could be numerous reasons.
Re GIU all that matters are the accreditations, QAHE and IARC, worthless in most countries but probably not all.
GIU is based on slightly different founding stones than most others in same category, but I didn't study enough psychology to be sufficiently articulate on that matter.
