In the United States, the name of the Western Pacific University has two families, one in Hawaii and the other in California. Tang June has always stressed that he was reading the Western Pacific University in California, not the Hawaiian family, but according to the American distance education expert John, the two Western Pacific University owners are actually a person.

The Western Pacific University in Hawaii is notorious indeed. Since 2000, the Hawaii State government has begun to crack down on the state's "Diploma workshop", the Western Pacific University has been the first, in 2006 by the Hawaii State government to the court. The court ruled that the Western Pacific University must pay a fine of USD 500,000 and was barred from charging any tuition fees. Soon after the verdict, Western Pacific University closed.

Change club name to Miramar University

The reporter also tried to contact the Western Pacific University in California, but the reporter learned that in 2006, the Western Pacific University in California was transferred to the new owner, renamed the University of California Miramar.

Dominic Venga, then principal, told the American media that the purpose of the alter was to break with past disputes. The new Miramar University has finally been certified by the relevant agency for 2009 years, but until now, the highest degree the school can award is only the master.

In many states, however, the Western Pacific University has not been spared from changing names and owners. Miramar University, like its predecessor, is still on the blacklist.

Where's the diploma from Tang June?

Diploma "Door-to-door" service

Whether bought or read, Tang June has, after all, the Western Pacific University doctoral diploma. So, what kind of a diploma?

Tang June insists his alma mater is the Western Pacific University in California, but the school's "reputation" is bigger, a "diploma workshop" on the official blacklist.

In 2004, just as the Hawaii State Government's action against the "diploma workshop" came to an end, the US Federal Audit Office published a report on the diploma workshop after careful covert investigation. The reporter also obtained the report from Gao.

The report notes that Western Pacific University and other schools to give students a degree of simple way, the students do not have to go to school, I can only rely on my life experience to grant degrees, reminiscent of the "Fortress besieged" in the Irish Liar: "Sir in the European university, the degree must be advanced, no longer by correspondence formalities." ”

The report is the most detailed study of the Western Pacific University, and even the price of the diploma is: Bachelor 2295 dollars, Master 2395 dollars, Doctor 2595 dollars.

The Doctor of Electronic engineering is a cottage

The United States Department of Education does not require educational institutions to obtain accreditation, and it admits that some institutions that choose not to certify also provide quality education. But state governments are less "easy" to do than the Ministry of Education. In the case of a state, it is illegal to declare the use of a non-certified institution; Oregon State also reminds people that some industries do not recognize certificates of academic qualifications.

According to the information available, the California State private higher and Vocational Education Bureau authorized the Western Pacific University to offer a bachelor, master and doctorate degree in Business Administration from June 1998 to June 2002, although the doctoral Diploma of Tang June was issued in 1995 and is not within this time period.

and the Royal network in the United States when the Nasdaq listed in the document submitted, Tang June's resume is "Western Pacific University of Electronic engineering PhD", apparently not with the business management professional.

Yesterday, the reporter entered the Ministry of Education Foreign Regulatory Information Network inquiries, found in the Ministry of Education June 1, 2010 recently announced the approval of the "33 countries part of the list of schools", the United States in California, the school does not have Tang June's English name "Pacific Western University" The Western Pacific University of California (now the University of California Miramar (English name "California Miramar University").

And the reporter from the Ministry of Education Study Abroad Service Center learned that the Ministry of Education Foreign Affairs Supervision Information Network published in the 33 countries of nearly 15,000 universities list of all the national full-time university, if the network distance education and other part-time education institutions, is not in this list.

"The Netizen exposes" the West Finish ""

Online already has the netizen to explode the material, said the domestic Western Pacific University alumni not to be many famous enterprise executives, university professors and so on celebrities. And through the search for a few years ago, the reporter found that the Western Pacific University also has a lot of foreign alumni, but these foreign alumni on the mirror is not good.

In 2005, the Irish Independent reported that Barry Maxwenny's ph. D. degree from the former Irish government's chief scientific advisor also came from the Western Pacific University.

Soon after, another Irish government adviser, Cang Bowell, was also blown up by Maxwenny's "West" alumni, and Powell explained that "my job has little to do with this doctoral degree."

In the same year, Australia's Sydney Morning Herald said that Marcos Enfield, a former Australian judge who had been exposed to tax evasion, was found to have a doctorate from the Western Pacific University.
