You seem to think that you can use Degreediscussion to advertise your online business and that people will believe you. I'm just expressing my own personal skepticism about some of the claims that are being made. Degreediscussion's readers will have to make up their own minds.
Smart people can easily find the truth about Charisma University office location and office size by a simply phone call or e-mail
Why should smart people be making telephone calls when they can talk to a Charisma representative (I'm guessing its owner, this thing isn't large) right here?
Just to let you know, this advertisement about this Neptune Court office was before Charisma University signed up for the lease agreement. Intelligent people will easily understand this!
Charisma hasn't been boasting a Turks and Caicos address for very long, has it? Less than a year ago, it was stoutly insisting (in this thread!) that it was a properly constituted and fully recognized Philippine university, located in the Philippines. Now suddenly, a few months later, it's insisting that it's the Turks and Caicos' one and only university and that somehow it already possesses the international equivalent of American regional accreditation, bestowed by the T&C "MOE". That's pretty amazing in itself. I don't believe that anyone familiar with real-life higher education would find it even remotely credible.
When Charisma supposedly moved from the Philippines to the Turks and Caicos, what physically moved? Real accreditable universities have offices, they have staff, they have no end of administrative functions. So how many Charisma employees uprooted their Philippine lives and moved half the world away to this small island resort?
My guess is that the number is probably zero, right? This thing isn't really a university at all to my eye, it's more along the lines of an address of convenience, a mail drop. It domiciles itself wherever the local laws seem to be laxest.
Whatever is physically located in the Turks and Caicos at the moment, it can't be very robust if at best it occupies a tiny recently-rented one or two room office space on the second floor above a Chinese restaurant. Who works there, a single local? What does he/she do? It can't be much more than playing Charisma receptionist, answering phones and forwarding mail. (To where, exactly?)
This thing doesn't look anything remotely like a university, at least as the rest of the world understands that term. It will be interesting to learn what the ACBSP's site-visit team discovers, assuming that Charisma's application ever progresses as far as a visit.
