EDIGs "Dr" Nuanlly's degree is from "Pacific Western University"
This info may be wrong and there might be some other "pacific Western University" that is legit but this is what we have to go on. Nunally appears to be a well educated quack. I believe EDIG even stopped referring to him as a "doctor". He has not had a commercially successful patent from what I have found and his only idea that came close was to use gas lines to be the final link for internet delivery which never became viable due to safety concerns. He has made a home at EDIG writing wordy very specific method patents that are complicated enough for EDIG to file nuisance value lawsuits without fear of legal sanction. A flim flam operation. I think you would have to be a fool to invest in EDIG based on his expertise. The good "doctor" aint so good he is on his last play. Bada BING! That's gonna leave a mark on the marks. IN MY OPINION.

In 1988, PWU offered a "nine-months-to-a-Ph.D" degree for US$1,675.[15] A California state committee investigated the University and found that some of the graduates completed a substantial body of new work before their degrees were conferred while other in other instances, either inadequate or no instruction is given, and the degree is issued based entirely on life experience and prior publications.[16] In 1989, Pacific Western University agreed not to seek licensing for its doctoral program.[16]
By August 1990, PWU set up degree programs in Louisiana and Hawaii.[16]
In April 1994, Louisiana's state Board of Regents closed Pacific Western's leased office, asserting that PWU offered too many credits for a thesis, had too few teachers, and not enough courses.[17]
On November 4, 1997, the State of Hawaii, Office of Consumer Protection (OCP), filed a lawsuit against Pacific Western University, seeking to prevent PWU from failing to provide mandatory state disclosures and from misleading consumers by asserting that Pacific Western University is registered with the State of Hawaii.[3] On April 28, 1999, Pacific Western University entered into a stipulated permanent injunction where PWU agreed to provide mandatory Hawaii state disclosures and to not make any representations to the effect that PWU is registered with or authorized by the State of Hawaii to confer bachelor, master, and doctoral degrees, and or award academic degrees. Moreover, without an admission of wrongdoing, PWU also agreed to pay Thirty Thousand Dollars (US$30,000.00) to the Office of Consumer Protection, State of Hawaii for costs of investigation.[18]. On March 28, 2005, the Hawaii OCP filed a further lawsuit against Pacific Western University seeking to prevent PWU from engaging in "unfair or deceptive acts or practices", seeking a court judgment that all contracts between PWU and its students are void, and seeking money.[4] On May 9, 2006, the Hawaiian court entered a default judgment against Pacific Western University.[19] According to the Oregon State Office of Degree Authorization, "degrees issued by the former Pacific Western University in Hawaii are not from the same entity as the current PWU of California. Employers should verify which entity issued any PWU degree."[20], but both Bear[1] and Thacker[6] note that both were operated out of the same building, by the same people.
Between July 2003 through February 2004, United States congressional investigators determined that at least 28 senior-level federal employees in eight agencies have "bogus" college degrees between three unaccredited schools.[21] Among those individuals identified by the General Accounting Office review were three workers with emergency operations roles and security clearances at the National Nuclear Security Administration, part of the Department of Energy.[21] The three unaccredited schools -- Pacific Western University, California Coast University, and Kennedy-Western University -- provided data showing that 463 of their students were federal employees, with most of those listed in the Department of Defense.[21] Federal funding is explicitly restricted to accredited programs
