Actual Estate Mogul Founds Own University
There have been some weird stories coming out of a tiny place in Canada about a university president attempting to kick the shins of the Executive Chairman of a multi-billion dollar international real estate conglomerate. Weird stories demand further investigation!
The smallest Canadian province, Prince Edward Island, has a quaint little university with just over 4,500 students. The story goes that the University President tried to woo a multi-million dollar donation from Richard Homburg, the Executive Chairman of the Homburg Group of Companies.
No big news there. As government funding to universities has declined, universities have turn into adept at raising funds from the private sector. This certain deal did not occur. No big news there either, not all deals go ahead.
However, the actual estate developer felt that educating men and women is a great thing, even if he did not like that certain deal with the university. Instead of donating his funds to an additional university, he decided that he would prefer to do it himself and discovered his own university.
Major corporations have been creating ‘corporate universities’ for their own internal training for decades. There are now over 2,000 corporate universities and some of their campuses have state-of-the-art classrooms, sports and recreation facilities – and yes, several helicopter pads – that would be the envy of any public university. Companies know they can organize corporate education, and do it genuinely properly.

Companies also know that ‘academic freedom’ prevents companies from giving advice to the organization school. The attitude is “You can have your name on the door (for numerous million dollars), but don’t bring your concepts inside, we’ll choose what’s very best”. And just how several Company Schools are so flush from company success that they have several million of their own?
Forty years ago, Richard Homburg started having innovative tips, and nowadays he still keeps his .5 billion empire ahead of the game with a keen sense of enterprise and impeccable timing. So, Homburg launched something referred to as the “Homburg Global Education Project”. He assembled scholars from some of the best true estate schools around the globe, and came up with one thing novel.
And this is where we locate the surprise. Instead of paying out to hang his name over the door of a small enterprise school, Homburg’s Global Education project spans two continents, with an Academy in Zurich, an Institute in Canada, an eCampus for global education delivery, a analysis book series with Oxford University Press, and innovative Bachelor and Masters programs in Actual Estate that are relevant to the organization globe, taught by some of the ideal professors and professionals from around the world. Wow.
The President of the small university certainly did not like this, and went all over the media saying how this would destroy the fabric of education and end the globe as we know it. He never ever came correct out and mentioned what he was most afraid of: Richard Homburg showed the organization world that they can do that too. Let’s face it: starting new initiatives is what business men and women do. And if the enterprise globe starts their own alternatives to the standard university, the universities’ tried and accurate way of getting millions from major corporations could be threatened.
Let’s try the thought experiment: spend millions for a sign over a door, or invest in a global delivery program for market-relevant Bachelor and Masters programs drawing from the ideal faculty in the world? No organization person would get that 1 wrong.
The lesson: don’t upset a thousand-year tradition of keeping a tight monopoly on university education and expect to preserve it quiet. Nicely, 2011 is the year that tradition has been upset.
part 1 of Malcolm X debate at Oxford University in 1964. quite good arguments presented by him, and quite applicable in today’s world of the iraq war
Video Rating: 4 / 5
This rings so true today. I actually got in a debate about my extremism tactics for the better of blacks doesn’t equate to the tactics of which you europeans are known for.Racial discrimation,opression,brainwashing,deception. And when the white male i was debating against referred to my extremision statements as me being similar to that of nazi(white people.) Thats what sparked the realization of the mis communication people have, Assumptions aren’t fact is what one must remember.
A LIFE OF REINVENTION MALCOLM X MANNING MARABLE A must read for all that seek the truth of our american history.
The heave and gasp that only a man who has choked interminably can know.The sweetness of the first pure breath,the easing of the burning acridity,the envelopment in Sakeenah,and the hope of Grace. May God grant one more person light today,from instruction through example The Towering Pillar of Integrity left as his legacy!And may God forgive accept his sacrifice and forgive his sins and have mercy on him! Ameen!
He is Al Hajji Malik Ash-Shabazz!May God have mercy on him!He is a hero! He is not dead!We are commanded not to refer to those who die in the way of God as dead.Nay!They live!A more illustrative story cannot be told of the galvanic effect Islam has on the man who has suffocated in ignorance and thulm(darkness/oppression) for all his days on earth;enslaved by his quest for a lasting peace, a cessation of the inner gnawing from among the temporal of this world.
I LOVE MALCOLM X
@DaddyKyan That was a very intelligent statement you made in response to a white supremacist. And another reason why they resfuse to take responsibility for their crimes that drip with the blood of black people is because they don’t want to pay Reparations.
why can’t we do this now
why can’t we do yhis now
ok, time to bring this to an end , this is why you are never ever going to progress , cause your mentally ill . very sad
@dave2806 God says in the bible the battle is his. That is why the race war that people like David Duke were expecting never came. Mother nature is doing it for us. And I dont believe in waiting on God. I am God.
@DaddyKyan wish you well but your people will not progress sitting around waiting for god . god helps those who help themselves .
@dave2806 True. I plan on perfecting the Christ mind state to manifest God in my self.
@DaddyKyan ok , i will watch , better you do something yourself rather than wait for god but you do what you like , your life is not going to change much .
@dave2806 Yeah that is why your a Devil. You think I should just get over it. Well if you knew anything about being Black in America you would know I cant do that. You white people continue to destroy my people. You dont owe us anything. A snake doesnt owe an explanation for biting. The world belongs to us as it is written in the Holy books. You dont owe us anything. God is giving it all back to us. Watch.
@DaddyKyan get over it , your breaking my heart . you really think the world owes you anything cause your black ? you could not be any more wrong . stand up , do the right thing , dont take drugs , dont commit crime , get educated . and dont tell me you cannot cause the world will not let you . my whole family never had a thing but we never did any of those things . be a man for gods sake and stop blaming the world for your actions !
@dave2806 Yes you are a devil because you want all the accolades and perks that come with being white without acknowledging why you have the position you are in. Then you have the nerve to tell us we should get over how your people treated us in the past. You say that we are 90 percent responsible for our situation? How about this. 400 plus yrs of slavery, 100 plus yrs semi slavery, CIA floods ghettoes with drugs, Highest unemployment, worst schools, ect. Equals 90% white man 10% us.
@DaddyKyan I’m a white devil now am I ? I am spreading hate cause I suggested that someones life was to a large extent in there own hands ? pathetic , your the racist , just get on with it , nutters like you are beyond hope .
@dave2806 You dont know Martin or Malcolm. The MLK they promote is far from the real thing. I love when white devils like yourself try and act like you have no more responsibility for our current situation. What opportunities do we have? Oh sports and entertainers right? Many Black people are beginning to see that we would have been better off living away from you. That is why I am glad your type is going extinct. Why are you even watching Malcolm? You are just trying to spread hate.
@DaddyKyan . Malcolm could have been a great great man if he had not been involved with the noi nutters . you are what you want to be , Malcolm knew that, Mr king knew that . times have moved on , time to make the most of the opportunities that have been given rather than look for someone to blame for where you are . it does not wash to say I’m black and i am poor etc because of others . your like that 90 per cent because you put yourself there . be brave .
@dave2806 Misguided? What! MLK was killed because he was meeting with Malcolm about bringing together both movements. So the powers that be killed them both and made a national hero out of a white sympathizer. Now we are the most incarcerated the most on drugs and the most in poverty. Black people are in a state of emergency thanks to Martin regardless of his good intentions. Malcolm was the real hero. They only promote Martin to keep us from seeing this fact.
