The inimitable Mayor Rudolph (Rudy) Giuliani, pictured here during a recent trip to Israel. What more can be said about such an exemplary, indefatigable man dedicated to a life of service? Rudy was nominated Time magazine’s 2001 Person of the year . He is a compassionate human being, consummate leader and a true hero, a man of the highest personal integrity and moral convictions.
It is perhaps for these reasons, and the way he handled the whole “911” incident, that we at the University of Berkley chose to pay him a special tribute with awarding him an Honorary Doctorate in April of 2002. Robust, resplendent, Rudy the glorious Giuliani…had the following to say about our Honorary Doctoral Degree conferred upon him:
"Dear Friends,
I am delighted for the honor bestowed upon me by your institution. Thank you so much for presenting me with the degree of Doctor of Humanities. It was a kind and generous gesture. I appreciate it greatly. Best Wishes, Sincerely ~ Rudolph W. Giuliani."
We love you Rudy! Do the nation one more favor and run for President!

Berkley MI (UP)
Late Friday afternoon in an eagerly anticipated announcement made jointly by the President of the university, J. Harper Andrews and Academic Director Dr. Dennis Globosky, details of the new "Academic and Educational Initiative" were released.. “It’s been 3 years in the making” said Andrews, “but we believe it’s going to be worth the wait”. The new initiative consists primarily of the addition of 32 new degree programs for adult learners who don’t have time for classrooms. “The university has always provided a significant number of college degrees on all levels” remarked Globosky, “now we have increased the total number of degree program offerings to 168”. This number is up from 136 Associates, Bachelors, Masters and Doctoral degree programs offered in 2000.”
“Our goal” continued Andrews, “was ultimately to be useful to the greatest number of people, both here in the U.S. and abroad, and provide the highest level of personalization and academic excellence to our students. With staff increases and these new offerings we have done that."

What does education, (perhaps your college degree) and the "End Of The World" have to do with each other? Everything!

Nothing new you say, doomsday prophets have been around since...well about as long as humankind has existed, but please checkout this link Flash Movie, "End of the World"

Cute toon…did you check it out? Although I am the head of this University please realize this is not pedantic pontification…this is an EDITORIAL, these are my opinions.

All racial, religious and national ‘bigotry-prejudices’ spring from ignorance. Education or knowledge is the antithesis of this ignorance. The right use of this knowledge is wisdom. Knowledge and wisdom eventually lead to an expansion of consciousness and mental growth, which is a prerequisite for becoming compassionate responsible human beings.

Wise, responsible, compassionate human beings will draw the inevitable conclusion and know that we are all: ‘One-Humanity-as-a-whole-with-the-Planet.’ The salvation of our world is OUR responsibility and depends entirely upon the extent to which we utilize our knowledge or wisdom in applying and cultivating the principles of Goodwill and Right Human Relations on a global scale.

Cooperation towards this goal is, and always has been the foundation of the philosophical underpinnings of the University of Berkley. Join us. Fight Ignorance. Save the World.

Education News that could change your life!

The University of Berkley having been the single most vocal, proactive and oft criticized even persecuted proponent of educational change pioneered the modern approach to non-traditional "university-without-walls" type of education. Since 1988 we have been denounced and ostracized for our "differences" in educational philosophy... yet we have stood our ground. Please read this verbatim testimonial email from a recent alumnus:


"Great News! Since completing my MBA at UofB earler this year I have
secured a Financial Manager position and I'm pulling in a great 6 figure
income. I fully support the educational philosophy at UofB and thought you would like to investigate the story at the link below. It's about time that the educational community realizes what UofB has been promoting all along..." Marcia McHall, Oct. 30 2003

Here is that link and an excerpt of the article: Academics Make Case to End Credit Hour

By STEVE GIEGERICH, AP Education Writer
Developed about a century ago, the credit hour has become a building block of American academic life. It is used to calculate faculty salaries, to determine the level of public money funneled to institutions and to establish a timetable for graduating with a degree.

But some academic experts now say the credit hour is a relic in a high-tech world with ever-more nontraditional students and learning methods.

Learn how the University of Berkley has been at the forefront of this movement for over 14 years...
