You know, I really do wonder what sort of criteria these accreditation associations use to determine if a school is up to par. I mean I know you can get a BS in computer science, and all that, but you can also get a degree in health that leads you to being an ayurvedic consultant? And not any ayurvedic consultant, but a MARSHY ayurvedic consultant. And physics? Where they teach that consciousness is the basis of all physics stuff and make this statement in their physics program PR: "The most creative physicists have always emphasized human consciousness as the foundation for the scientific method used in physics." Now what does that mean? I can't see that it has any actual meaning. It seems to be vague enough to have plausible deniability if challenged but, if you are in the know, is elevating their own theoretical physics to higher acclaim than it deserves. How creative does a physicist have to be? The more the better I would have said, and that goes for all sciences. Progress comes from ideas and the refining process of criticism of ideas. And they all come from creativity. Sure you need to be smart enough to understand the ideas that others have held so you cane see where they went wrong in order to have a better idea as a solution , but it's the coming up with new theories for looking at things that moves us forward. But all this seems to be in flat contradiction to the primary mystical teaching that supreme knowledge only comes from inside via transcendence. Go figure... At any rate, they must have low standards if they keep giving MUM any sort of accreditation. I think you can get away with all sorts of crap like creationism etc, if you turn out enough pupils who can turn on a computer or have learned something that doesn't depend on the belief system to the extent that you can't mix with other students with a different set of assumptions. Most humanities subjects or practical trades would do here. It's things like physics, biology and Earth science where you may fall down because teaching stuff that is demonstrably untrue isn't doing anyone any favours and will get found out if they ever go somewhere more empirical. I was visiting friends who had kids at the Marshy school in Skem and their son - who was expert at maths and planned to study physics at Oxford - proudly announced that he had got an "A" in joytish. I nearly choked on my lentil pie. What sort of preparation for a real education is that? I wonder if they teach it but tell pupils not to mention it when they get to the outside world as they "wouldn't understand". It turned out not to matter as he rejected the whole vedic thing using his own smarts. From: "dhamiltony2k5@...

As posted it was flat out a slur employed to insult and damage reputation. If it was intended satire it would have directly manifested humor and irony juxtaposed in some level of truth. What MJ did here was evidently drop in a baldfaced lie leaving it left unqualified, as a slur. Caught now, he is frantically diving for cover now. MJ at the least should apologize to the North Central Accreditation Board members he has defamed with his comments here if not the whole of the university community of MUM. It is really quite appalling what he has done here by most any standard of common decency, let alone by the Yahoo-groups guidelines ultimately guiding us in this forum. -JaiGuruYou ---In [email protected], <mjackson74@...> wrote : sat·ire ˈsaˌtī(ə)r/ noun noun: satire the use of humor, irony, exaggeration, or ridicule to expose and criticize people's stupidity or vices, particularly in the context of contemporary politics and other topical issues.

Even Anartaxius with his enormous intellectual power here is saying he missed it entirely as satire. What you dropped as a rhetorical IED here does not even come close to satire. Unqualified as you dropped it in here on a Yahoo-groups its effect quite evidently is to damage in slur MUM and those associated with it. ..A Slur: an insinuation or allegation about someone that is likely to insult them or damage their reputation. ---In [email protected], <mjackson74@...> wrote : It is satire and not meant to be taken as gospel.

You are calling in to question the integrity of the whole of the accreditation system by saying that. Your assertion likely is just one of those folk stories that people will tell and repeat. Rather, your response here without any qualification seems just a slur. Who offered the bribe and who took it and did anything with it? It very likely would be criminal if it happened.
