thats nice do the online grads get to be alumni

Re: Regent ranked in top 10 for online degrees.
 

not if they are strictly Distance Learning

Re: Regent ranked in top 10 for online degrees.
 

wow that is too bad, it would be nice for them to recognize all who learn in there hallowed halls, real and cyber, lol,dt

Re: Regent ranked in top 10 for online degrees.
 

Not sure what you mean, all grads make up the alumni.

Re: Regent ranked in top 10 for online degrees.
 

that is odd, is it not, dt

Re: Regent ranked in top 10 for online degrees.
 

This wasn't the purpose of this thread at all I was just bragging on my school, but I feel you have forced my hand. I wrote to the school and asked them if they listed online grads in their directory the following is the response I received.

Yes, the community does include all degree programs and distance learning alumni. Was there someone in particular that you were having trouble finding?

Naturally I responded and this was the next reply.

I’ve searched through our database for anyone with the last name Vaughn and first or middle name of Shane and came up empty.

Let me see if I can get the registrar to track this person down. Perhaps it’s just a fluke with our system. I’ll let you know as soon as I find something out.

And finally this one.

Unfortunately we have not been able to locate the person in our system. I’m sorry we haven’t been able to help you!

Mr. Vaughn you sir are a fraud and you brought this upon yourself.

Re: Regent ranked in top 10 for online degrees.
 

it would be so wonderful if you knew my name..... since I have three and the third being Shane..... and never gets listed in official transcripts because it doesnt fit after the first two.....keep trying brother

blessings

Re: Regent ranked in top 10 for online degrees.
 

No sir. She sent me the list of every graduate with the last name Vaughn you are not listed.

Re: Regent ranked in top 10 for online degrees.
 

dun dun dun

Re: Regent ranked in top 10 for online degrees.
 

Yes, the community does include all degree programs and distance learning alumni. Was there someone in particular that you were having trouble finding?

You claimed that those who go online are not listed, that sir was a lie. like all the rest.

Re: Regent ranked in top 10 for online degrees.
 

DV, why don't you just settle all this so we can move on. Post a pic of the degree, give someone you trust your name so they can find out, or come clean and say you don't have the stooopid degree. This has gone beyond ridiculous.

Re: Regent ranked in top 10 for online degrees.
 

I am not going to get into the rest of this thread, but that is absolutely not true, online students ARE alumni after graduation.

In case some people are assuming this is a degree mill, let me assure you it is not; I spend about 11 per week, per class. I am starting two new classes in 2 weeks. Before the first class starts, I have to read 3 chapters (83 pages) in one book, and 39 pages in another book. I will have at least that much reading every week, and at least one paper-per class due every week. If anyone would like a page from a syllabus, let me know...

I Love Regent. I know that this is where God has led me and I am proud of the work that I have done. I would put my degree up against any brick and mortar one, particularly because of the theological training that is incorporated, even though my Major is Communications, and my Minor is Government....

Anyone else interested in my school, PM me!

Re: Regent ranked in top 10 for online degrees.
 

Can this finally, once and for all, end this charade and put this matter to bed? If the guy wants to call himself Dr. Vaughn and his University of choice doesn't know he exists, so be it.

Credibility goes a long way on forums, like it does in face to face relationships. It's up to each individual to either portray that or not.

Re: Regent ranked in top 10 for online degrees.
 

Just for the record and I will have nothing more to say about this none of these names appear on record at Regent as having graduated or even attended John, Stephen, or Shane, Vaughn.

Re: Regent ranked in top 10 for online degrees.
 

Why are these things - so interesting yet tiresome? hehe

Re: Regent ranked in top 10 for online degrees.
 

As I see it, Vauhgn can clear this up one of two ways:

1...Scan and upload a copy of his Regent Degree (as he previously said he would do), or ...

2...Contact the Alumni Relations office at Regent, and point out that they've made a mistake by not having his name listed on their website as being a graduate of the university. Once the error is corrected, it will be available for all to see, and that should put the issue to rest for good.

Until then, his credibility on this forum (as a man, as a Christian, and as a minister of the Word) will be seriously undermined.

Re: Regent ranked in top 10 for online degrees.
 

I have absolutely given Dr. Vaughn the benefit of the doubt in regards to his stated credentials.

It has only been in the last couple of days that the thought has seroiusly crossed my mind that the accusations of him having lied could possibly be true.

In my mind it indeed would be a simple matter of scanning the diploma I am sure would proudly be displayed on a wall or table and posting it here.

I trust and pray that someone asking to be taken seriously in Biblical discussions has not been lying about something as basic as their educational background.

If and when Dr. Vaughn provides proof of his degree I would hope all of the naysayers would apologize.

If that proof is impossible to produce because it does not exist then Dr. Vaughn not only owes everybody on this forum an apology but would need to repent for violating one of the ten commandments.

Re: Regent ranked in top 10 for online degrees.
 

Well said.
So right now, the ball is in his court.

Re: Regent ranked in top 10 for online degrees.
 

why does he have to prove anything? It's on him if he's lying.....and if he is, is it really our business? He doesnt have to prove anything....he has to live with the knowledge....

I say we ignore it and let him alone.

Re: Regent ranked in top 10 for online degrees.
 

...now you want to practice the law???

Re: Regent ranked in top 10 for online degrees.
 

It's a simple request. He claims to be a doctor. He listed the schools he attended, along with the years attended, and the degrees received. It was brought to our attention that his name does not appear in one of the school's records. It's a very simple thing to clear this misunderstanding up and retain his credibility.

In my opinion, if you make the claim to be a doctor, and can't produce the evidence, you're a fraud, and as someone else has stated, have actually broken some laws somewhere.

Re: Regent ranked in top 10 for online degrees.
 

My feeling is that all of this is going to be over with very soon, and apologies will be in order.

Re: Regent ranked in top 10 for online degrees.
 

I just think his silence on the matter has said more than he can say.....and for that we should ignore it...and him.

Re: Regent ranked in top 10 for online degrees.
 

and if it is true, he doesnt need to feel bullied into giving away his personal information..


lots of people on here claim to be Christian too ROFL......

Re: Regent ranked in top 10 for online degrees.
 

Time will tell. The proof of the pudding is in the tasting, and the proof of the doctorate is in the viewing.

And, it's not a crime to claim to be Christian when you're really not, lol - unfortunately.

Re: Regent ranked in top 10 for online degrees.
 

Agree! So what??? If your going to go after this Dr. Vaughn person to provides proof of his degree then every person on here who claims to be a pastor should likewise prove they have a lic or credentials from a real college with real credentials, otherwise they should not flap their lips on subject dealing with bible, etc. It would not surprise me at just how many of them here have received their from an internet base company, or their pastor gave them the titled of being a pastor. :snapout

Re: Regent ranked in top 10 for online degrees.
 

You don't have to have a degree to be a pastor, you DO have to have a degree to be a doctor.

Re: Regent ranked in top 10 for online degrees.
 

Well, that would actually be a good thing, if he did indeed have this degree and he ended up silencing the critics.

But unfortunately, Vaughn is partially responsible for this dragging on so long; He said weeks ago that he'd scan the degree an post it, but he still hasnt done so. So this could have been cleared up a long time ago.

Re: Regent ranked in top 10 for online degrees.
 

I understand a pastor not the same as a doctor, but people tend to trust the heading Pastor, REV as someone they can trust. In some ceases these titled are held by flasks who never went to bible school but received a certificate over the internet after paying a 50.00 fee....:whistle

I really don't care if the guy a Dr or not, or a pastor this is the net, not all is real, so one should take caution when addressing or giving these type of folk's info or anyone for that matter over the net.

Re: Regent ranked in top 10 for online degrees.
 

I think those who came late to the party really don't understand some of the nuances involved with this issue.

Re: Regent ranked in top 10 for online degrees.
 

Ya think??? Curious to me that HappyTown started posting for the first time right after Dr. Vaughn was viewing this thread without posting. I'm not making an accusation, just observing an interesting coincidence. :whistle

Re: Regent ranked in top 10 for online degrees.
 

Re: Regent ranked in top 10 for online degrees.
 

can I be a prima ballerina?

Re: Regent ranked in top 10 for online degrees.
 

Can someone elaborate as to why we should care whether or not Vaughn is really a doctor or not?

Re: Regent ranked in top 10 for online degrees.
 

I was thinking the same thing. I don't think I'm on enough to know all of the ins and outs of forum land.

Re: Regent ranked in top 10 for online degrees.
 

Why not? I'm a little blue person!:friend

Re: Regent ranked in top 10 for online degrees.
 

From everything I viewed clear back to Dan Alice, then coming back as Deep Threat later has an issues with the doc V not really being a doc, seemly won't drop the issues . I could careless myself, but some feel the need to carry this on and on. If V a fake so what, life goes on, I'm not one of doc fans, let God deal with him!

I'll admit I've lost alot respect that I had for Dan Alice/ Deep Threat, what he was doing went way beyond normal, it became badgering and even made Dan look as if he had control issues. As for the V I'll give him this, he kept his cool during all this madness. Hope that helps
