Mississippi College Board wants state to address problem of diploma mills

In the article JUCOs [Junior Colleges] want more money, Riva Brown, Clarion-Ledger (Jackson, Mississippi), January 11, 2005:

...The College Board [State Board for Community and Junior Colleges] also wants legislators to amend state law to give the Mississippi Commission on College Accreditation authority over "diploma mills." They are schools that award degrees without requiring students to meet educational standards set by accrediting agencies.

Mississippi residents can be impacted by diploma mills because credits earned cannot be transferred to accredited institutions, and employers may not recognize the degrees as valid.

"Our concern is about the ability of the commission on accreditation to protect Mississippi citizens from organizations that may offer things that they can't produce," Crofts [Richard Crofts, interim higher education commissioner] said.
