Talk:Canterbury University (Seychelles)

message: :In answer to your question, I have researched this school for a client, as I am a licensed investigator in New Jersey.In seeing your thread, I thought I would reply. After alleviating the Universities mentioned here, I continued my search. I must admit it wasn't easy. Time consuming and phone inquiries.

:Yes, the Canterbury University in question was initially a business school founded in England in 1974 called "The Canterbury College of Business Studies." It offered correspondence courses as a private degree granting body. Since then, the laws have changed in England in 1988 regarding British Private Degree Granting Bodies. The name changed to Canterbury University, but the school was then registered in the Republic of Seychelles (islands in the Indian Ocean north of Madagascar) The school is compliant with the Seychelles legislation. For a time, Canterbury maintained a Graduates Services office at 193 Market St. Hyde, Cheshire, SK14 1HF England.

:The school was accredited by the United Congress of Colleges, based in Ireland.
	 
:- 	
:As from accounts I have obtained, Canterbury University issued degrees based on professional/ experiential learning and prior study, and postal degree programs and provided acceptable in Asia and some other countries.

:Hope this gives you some insight on the school. I must add that these university degrees are legit and bonefide and not from a diploma mill as students have at least put in the course work and taken the all important exams.

They are no longer there. The school was accredited by the United Congress of Colleges, based in Ireland. The reason you were unable to locate them is because they have since vanished from the "radar screen." 
As from accounts I have obtained, Canterbury University issued degrees based on professional/ experiential learning and prior study, acceptable in all of Asia, Africa and most other countries. 
Hope this gives you some insight on the school, they still provided correspondent courses and students were tested and examined via postal arrangements. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dr. Kirk (talk • contribs)

thread_title: Canterbury's URL

message: Looking at the "university" website & noticing the insertion of the name "Canterbury University" by TM made me wonder whether the article's name was appropriate.
As far as I can make out:
*the originator of the article chose the name (perhaps because Canterbury University redirected to a real university?)
*the article has not been moved in its history
*The Guardian's older articles use Canterbury University
*The World Education News uses Canterbury University
*Their website uses Canterbury University
*Oregon uses Canterbury University
There's a pattern emerging. Thoughts? --Tagishsimon (talk) 01:51, 18 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Considering that many entities in the business of selling degrees over the Internet change their names rather often, I don't think we can be completely sure that this one never actually called itself "of the Seychelles". Since there are regular universities using the name "Canterbury University," that name cannot be used for this page without some sort of disambiguation information. Don't even think about putting "diploma mill" in the page name (responding to a comment you made in your edit summary, but not on this page). One possibility might be Canterbury University (Manchester and Seychelles), identifying both of its known geographic locations. --Orlady (talk) 02:36, 18 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: The current situation is that University of Canterbury is the article name and Canterbury University is a redirect. I like the idea of changing the article name. True it will cause some disambiguation issues but I don't think it will be worse than what we already have. Regards, TallMagic (talk) 03:44, 18 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I believe the assumption was that, since the original article seemed to be an ad for the university (see finalized version of original author's "article," from before anyone else got a crack at it), the name on the article reflected the official line of their organization.  The ad/article also calls CUotS simply "Canterbury University," but their article title from the very beginning was the (presumably) full and proper "Canterbury University of the Seychelles."  --Dynaflow babble 08:03, 18 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: It appears that the original author wanted to use the title Canterbury University but, had some difficulties with his attempts being reverted. I don't have a problem with the article title staying the way it is (although I do lean towards making the change). As a less appealing alternative to using Cnaterbury Universtiy, I like Orlady's suggestion of paranthesis better than keeping it the same, i.e., Canterbury University (Seychelles). Perhaps I might shorten some of the references to Canterbury University of the Seychelles to Canterbury University in the body of the article though? Regards, TallMagic (talk) 15:20, 18 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Hmm... After seeing that prehistory of this article, I like the theory that the original contributor of the article came up with the name "Canterbury University of the Seychelles" in order to avoid getting the article deleted. If that's the case, the name "Canterbury University (Seychelles)" would be an excellent replacement. --Orlady (talk) 15:57, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

message: The recent (August 2009) Florida case involving City Manager Jerry G. Tramel Ph.D. a graduate of Canterbury University was dismissed for more than just the fact that his job did not require a degree or that "conduct in which the accused was alleged to have engaged was not prohibited by statute" as the article suggests but that he was not guilty as he did nothing wrong. In fact the court decision actually stated that Canterbury University although unaccredited was a legal entity under the laws of the Republic of the Seychelles and therefore allowed to grant degrees within their own jurisdiction. It also restated a known fact that the US has no jurisdiction over foreign institutions and that "accreditation" is not a mandatory requirement of education. It did reaffirm the right however of states or organizations to set policy on acceptance of credentials but this was not the issue in this case. The primary issue with the case was the poorly worded legal brief attacking Dr. Tramel based on a law that had already been deemed unconstitutional from the state supreme court and the supposition that his degree was illegal. The last point was under direct evidence submitted, proven to be wrong as the Canterbury University of the Seychelles is a recognized operating company duly and legitimately operating under the laws of the Republic of the Seychelles as a educational institution and therefore allowed to grant degrees. As a point of Reference the Republic has no Department or Ministry of Education so I was unable to find anyone legally, officially and directly responsible for the oversight of education. The initial legal point also broke the foundation of the case. I would suggest that you include several links about this case and correct the inaccuracies in your update.
Suggested links: http://www.topix.com/forum/city/marianna-fl/TT0LIQSF13I8L3H7Q and http://www.pr-inside.com/florida-first-amendment-legal-victory-r1518054.htm are good starting points.

FLORIDA - First Amendment legal victory for Canterbury University smashes Accreditation Myths.
/EIN Presswire/ For two years, former Sneads City Manager Jerry G. Tramel Ph.D., a graduate of Canterbury University, has fought to clear his name and confirm the bona fides of his credentials. Justice was finally done on August 26 in the 14th Judicial Circuit Court when Judge William L. Wright dismissed all charges against him after the Prosecution was forced to admit that his degrees were perfectly legal. 
The hearing took just 27 minutes during which every facet of the State's case against Dr. Tramel collapsed. Dr. Tramel's degrees from Canterbury University (which is legally incorporated in the Seychelles and has an office in Hyde, Cheshire, UK) do not have accreditation recognized by the US Department of Education which is voluntary and is not possible anyway because the Secretary of Education is prevented by statute from accrediting foreign degrees, institutions or programs. 
He was charged under Florida Statute 817.567 which had been previously struck down as an unconstitutional violation of First Amendment rights in Samuel Bartow Strange, III v. Michael Satz and Saavedra v. State of Florida, 
"People don't understand accreditation" explained Dr. Tramel, referring to the report "Can College Accreditation Live Up to Its Promise?" by George Leef and Roxana Burris for the American Council of Trustees and Alumni. "People think it is compulsory when it's voluntary. They think it's a warranty of degree quality which it's not. It allows access to Title IV Federal Tax Dollars and academic freedom restricted to what the Federal Government dictates. I believe access to academic programs independent of Government finance and interference is an essential factor in a free society." 
Judge William L. Wright agreed the law had been unconstitutionally applied, dismissed all charges and wished Jerry Tramel good luck, days before the conclusion of another long running Florida case in which Naples Police Officers Joe Popka and Drew McGregor were similarly vindicated over their use of unaccredited degrees. 
"I lost my job over this." Veteran Tramel points out, "But nobody involved in the investigation or prosecution of this case remains in the employ of the State Attorney's Office. I have been advised that I can expect substantial compensation for being put through this terrible ordeal, which my wife and I have endured to clear my own name and to make a stand for academic freedom for every Citizen of this great State and this great Country."

message: The whole article has posed as a harsh kick in the balls from my employer. I attended this school and obtained a LEGAL degree. A study that took me 3 years, and now I had to contact my academic supervisor from two years ago, confirm attendance, get transcripts, get a hand-written letter from the dean just because someone wrote that it sells degrees through some mill site? .. 
Where is the proof? Please correct the information given. 
(1)I will quote a news article saying: "It is important to note that neither of these qualification providers operates illegally; their degrees are clearly acceptable", written by George Brown; PhD - www.HigherEdConsulting.com.au.
This has created allot of problems for me, as I am forced to prove my bachelors degree, which in fact had already been verified and accepted by the institution that granted me my masters.
I have several articles regarding court judges granting verification to this school in U.S cases. The degrees are legal, and this article is just slander, and mocking of the great online education brought to us by the advantages of the internet.
(2) Some other people reacting to the slander. These have also attended the school and earned a degree legally. 
Shame on you, and all others that say online education is a fraud.

message: The article is inaccurate. References 1,5,6,7,8 and 10 are dead and don't support the claims in the article. The school is not completely "unaccredited" since it is  "accredited" by UCC link http://canterburyuniversity.wordpress.com/about/. I'm not saying its accreditation is acceptable by the UK or US, but I am pointing out that this article is incorrect, outdated, and the reference links are dead. It should point out that it is an actual accredited university but identify the other problems with it with proper references. This is important because the "shorthand" claim that it was not a school and not accredited is what caused the case against Tramel to be dismissed.

message: "Concerns have been raised regarding the paragraph discussing the dismissal and subsequent charges against the former city manager of a Florida municipality, as well as the fraudulent use of a fake Canterbury University diploma by an individual in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. The current references in the Wikipedia article do not appear to be directly related to the subject matter and may not effectively support the claims made in the paragraph. Additionally, the tone of the paragraph could be perceived as demeaning towards Canterbury University. Therefore, it is recommended that these references and the paragraph itself be reviewed and revised to ensure accuracy, neutrality, and adherence to Wikipedia's content guidelines."
About the  9th  reference ( I have attached the web archive link here) (a subscription is required on the main website) 
The news website says the following:
“According to Sneads attorney Guy Green at the time the resulting information was presented to the town council, it appears that the degrees listed on his job application allegedly came from a “diploma mill” rather than a legitimate school of higher learning.”
There is absolutely no evidence to support the claim that it is a "diploma mill." Snead's attorney made this assertion, and the news reporter repeated it and someone published it on Wikipedia. However, it is merely an assumption without any proof. 
But in the 11th reference ( Web archive link here )( a subscription is required on the main website) The same news website of the reference 9th printed the following:
“
In the court file, a letter from Canterbury University states that, while it is not an institution credited by the U.S. Department of Education, it does indeed exist.
Such accreditation is voluntary, the school’s representative pointed out, and is not necessary for the existence of the school.
The institution confirmed that Tramel does possess the degrees he claims to have from the university.
Further, the representative wrote, as a foreign school, it could not obtain U.S. accreditation even if it wished to do so.
Wilson explained why he believes the charge related to Tramel’s claim of an academic degree was dropped.
“If Mr. Tramel had said that he held a Ph.D. or B.Sc. from FSU, and he in fact did not, then he could be charged. But that is not what he did. Mr. Tramel claimed to hold a degree from Canterbury University, which is an online ‘diploma mill,’” Wilson said. “Mr. Tramel does in fact have the paperwork from this ‘diploma mill’ and is allowed to say he has it. .., The fact remains that his claim to have a Ph.D, although technically true, is purposely meant to deceive people into believing that it was a degree earned through a studious education which imparted knowledge on the recipient, in contrast to a title which was actually purchased.”
”
The charges were dropped because the legitimacy of the degree was established. Even in the news it says that the Canterbury University Authority confirmed the authenticity of the degree, solidifying the fact that the university is legitimate and not a “diploma mill”. It is crucial to note that the attorney, Wilson, held a belief or assumption that the university was a diploma mill, which was then reported by the news. However, it is important to emphasize that he had no evidence to support this belief. Moreover, since the charges were dropped, this aspect becomes irrelevant to the subject, and the claim that the university is a diploma mill is untrue. Additionally, there is no substantial information found in the 10th reference. It appears that someone intentionally attempted to defame the university in the Wikipedia article.
In the second part of the paragraph on Degree recipients, it says “A woman was charged with fraud using a diploma from Canterbury University to get counseling jobs.”
In the 12th reference ( web archive link here) (a subscription is required on the main website) I have found two other news sources containing the same text as the reference 12th. Here are the links:  Link 1 and Link 2  all the news says the same as following:
“Prosecutors say Faherty paid England-based Canterbury University for a college diploma, with master's degree certifications, but that it turns out no such school exists. Authorities say she used the fraudulent credentials to bolster her resume, working for TeamCare Behavioral Health of Lancaster and Pennsylvania Counseling Services Inc. in Lebanon from 2007 to 2009.”
The assertion made by the prosecutors that there was no such school is invalid and misleading. The university in question is legitimate and does exist. However, it is important to note that in the same news report, the authorities confirmed that the accused individual had indeed forged the document using the name of Canterbury University. This raises a compelling argument: if the university were truly a "diploma mill," wouldn't the focus be on the institution itself rather than solely on the fake document? This strongly suggests that the institution is not a diploma mill and is indeed a legitimate university. Furthermore, it is crucial to recognize that this story has no direct relevance to the university. It is possible for anyone to fabricate documents using the names of various universities. Therefore, this aspect should also be disregarded and removed from consideration.
The degree recipients section has no relevance and unjustly damages the reputation of the University. It was created falsely with the intention to defame the University.

thread_title:  Delete the paragraph "[[Canterbury_University_(Seychelles)#Degree_recipients|Degree recipients]]" 

message: In the recognition section the 7,8 and 4th references are too much old and not even state the name of this University. So this is to be removed. 
The article needs to be reconstructed. Darukaka (talk) 05:30, 22 July 2023 (UTC)
