    Hello, all:

    Join the crusade! (LOL).

    Join the unrelenting effort to expose and shut down diploma mills and supremely substandard schools - and their scoundrel and fraudulent operators and co-conspirators - by reviewing and supporting some concrete and definitive anti-mill action.

    What do you think about the following suggestion:

    Resolved:

    That all 50 US States and/or the US Congress begin work to pass legislation requiring that the following paragraph be mandatorily printed on page 1 of every school's "Application for Admission" form(s):

    "I, ____________, hereby acknowledge and declare that before completing and submitting this application, either online or offline, I have accessed, used, read and understood material from a CHEA/USDoE or other approved college-University accreditation listing or verification site (such as is available at http://www.chea.org/institutions/index.cfm) and that I duly note that this school _______________, to which I am applying for admission, (circle one) IS / IS NOT legitimately accredited by any accreditor recognized by any RA/CHEA/USDoE-recognized accreditor and thus is an unaccredited or possibly a substandard entity or diploma mill.
    ________ (signature) _______ (date)"

    Thanks in advance for your input.

    Yes, I have a better Idea.

    Why not write a PhD dissertation on this subject and get certified exam on understanding all the legalities of the education laws in USA that are not applied overseas.

    What about the schools that is not US based?

    And the Mills will fins=d a way and loopholes and other ways.


    Nice try :)

    Perhaps I am wrong, but isn't the above statement taken verbatim from the American College application for admission?

    LOL.

    Wow! Russell, why are degrees from your esteemed "school," americancollege.com, so expensive? Are the raised seals gold- or platinum embossed?

    "Ph.D. M.A. B.A.
    "Total Fee $249.00
    "Total Fee $209.00
    "Total Fee $149.00

    Think how many shoe-shines a KWE or SRU or CPU or an americancollege.com enrollee could obtain for these payments!.

    On the other hand, it will only cost about $0.05 per application form to add the accreditation notification disclaimer above.

    Have a grand day, pardner!
