Googasian Malice

If you haven’t been caught up with the latest news from the life experience degrees’ industry, hear it from me – Belford Lawsuit, the famous, leading life experience based online high school is under the scrutiny of some law firm called Googsaian P.C. that was recently in the news due to the settlement money it lately received from a local high school. The firm asserts that Belford issues ‘invalid’ diplomas to its students and functions from Texas.

Being layman in the discipline of law, even I can tell that the institute does not operate from the US and therefore does not come under the US jurisdiction so there are no chances that a law firm despite how incompetent it might be would miss out on such a ‘given’ fact, before they were to file a class action.

So if they already knew that and yet look forward to win the case, who happens to their God fathers in the game? Well, there definitely is a lobby that opposes life experience based institutions for obvious reasons as these online institutions are doing exceptionally well while promoting an average working adult who had to discontinue education earlier in life but has in the course of time gained significant work experience and holds expertise in a particular filed and therefore is honored by such institutions based on that. Why would a law firm in any other scenerio stoop down to the level of launching multiple websites namely www.stopdegreefraud.com, www.stopdiplomafraud.com and www.sropcollegefraud.com etc. had it not been on a serious lookout for other such online institutions to be sued in future? Through these websites Googasian P.C. is without a doubt generating information about other institutions of Belford’s nature to irresponsibly file cases against them to satisfy the firm’s own notorious plans.

Also, since the law firm has recently won settlement money from a local high school, Belford is nothing but their next scapegoat on their journey of pulling great revenues from life experience based institutions. They now see this as a profitable business in its own right.How can Life Experience degrees be declared ‘fake’ unless they are issued under a similar name or resemble the ones issued by other institutions? Googasian P.C. has baselessly filed a class action against Belford High School. I would support life experience degrees to be 100% legal as a number of sound life experience degrees awarding institutes are successfully running worldwide – NOT claiming to ‘educate’ students for the certificates issued. Thus labeling these degrees as ‘bogus’ would indeed be an illegal practice in itself as very clearly the degrees awarded are truly based on genuine work experiences of the holders. As in the case of Mr. McKenna who in 2006 successfully sued the Daily Mirror for libel; over claims made by journalist Victor Lewis-Smith that McKenna obtained a “bogus degree” simply for money to intentionally deceive the public. McKenna won the case and significant damages.

The court declared that Mr. McKenna was not dishonest and regardless of the quality of his earned degree, it would be unfair to write it off as ‘bogus’ and that any possibility of the mediocrity of La Salle’ University’s academic standards does not suggest that its client has been dishonest about his justly earned credits based on his life experiences.

Let us wait and see how Googasain P.C. miserably fails in its ill intentions just like Daily Mirror Newspaper as unquestionably Belford High School’s terms & conditions stated on its official website demonstrably protect their welfare.
