    Those ever-optimistic goatbaggers over at University Services have posted the price to roll your own school: $35,000. We all realize that they have more experience being sued by real schools than most other goatbaggers, so this must be worth something. ("Watch what I do, and do the opposite! Now pay me a lot of money.")

    This product's also being advertized at that drole ejector pit of homophobic (but only slightly antisemitic) psychopathology, the "Online Learning Directory" forum.

    Might this make University Services a diploma mill mill? Yes yes.

    They have absolutely no shame!

    These scumbags will assist you, the budding diploma mill entrepreneur, to get registered in US or France? I am surprised that they mention the state of Delaware but not diploma mill haven, Wyoming (though I am certain that they will not rule it out).

    These shysters will show you how to "register and establish it in France as an "Ecole Supérieure" providing you with government authorization to bestow degrees as per L 731-14 of the code de l'éducation de la République Française."

    "Robert de Sorbon" finally gets some competition?

    LOL.

    Thanks.

    Delaware is the home state of the Official Transcript Archive Center, a Saint Regis mushroom that used to live in a metal box inside a UPS Store in Washington, DC. Now it lives in a remailing business in Delaware. Thus the familiarity with Delaware.

    See www.Transcriptarchive.com for more.

    Wonderful Delaware

    Hey, it's the best PakMail outlet in Branmar Shopping Center. And it's convenient to the local Pet Village, for all your goatbag needs!

    I don't think there are many corporations that aren't incorporated in Delaware. It's cheap and it's easy. Very appropriate in this case.

    The owner of Knightsbridge University, Henrik, also sales ready-made schools. IIRC, he charges a little more but with his school you also get a full faculty! When I asked Henrik about owning and selling slaves he corrected me that he has agreements with the professors that they are agreeable to work for anyone that he sales the ready-made schools to. This doesn't seem to agree with my own personal assessment of people and professors that I have known but I must admit that I never explicitly asked anyone how they would feel about being sold as part of a ready-made school. Perhaps college professors are more accomadating to this sort of thing than I imagine?

    Re: Wonderful Delaware

    Whoa! Are you certain that's what you meant to write... that most corporations are incorporated in Delaware? I certainly hope not, 'cause that's just categorically untrue. The vast majority of U.S. corporations are incorporated in their own states of operation. In order for what you wrote to be true, all the corporations in all 49 of the other states, when added together, would have to total fewer than are incorporated in the single state of Delaware... and I'm here to tell ya' that that's not even close to being the case.

    But by no means cheaper and/or easier than in several other states. And, anyway, Delaware's attractiveness as a state of incorporation has almost nothing to do with the expense or ease of doing so. Delaware's attractiveness as a state of incorporation, like Nevada's, has to do with certain tax benefits and organizational rules that tend to inure to the benefit of the companies that incorporate in that state (as opposed to if those same companies incorporated in their own states of actual operation). And those benefits are diminishing in value, in any case, as more and more states pass "foreign corporation" rules that effectively end-run at least some of said benefits.

    Sorry, Lynn, if it feels like I'm jumpin' on ya', here... I'm not. I'm just tryin' to keep the reader from being misled.

    Ha! That's pretty good. That's the name I gave it when I just now created a bookmark to it in my "Diploma Mills" folder: "University Services -- A Diploma Mill Mill"

    Thanks for that one! ;)

    Well, if they really were amenable to it (and, of course, if they really had legit credentials, etc.), it would, like it or not, tend to give Henrik's insipid offering some credibility. That still doesn't make it a good idea, mind you... but if I stop and think about it, it's just exactly what I'd make sure was the case were I doing something like what Henrik's doing (which will happen, I should add, when pigs fly).

    To his everlasting credit...really.

    Yes, but that nice Mr Kristensen doesn't throw in Judenhass as a factory option.

    Judenhass

    judenhass: "jew hatred."

    Here is an example, posted to that sewer-melon, the "Online Learning Directory" discussion forum:

    "...the bald foureyed crybaby-goatbag-typicaljew-knowitall loudmouth..."

    Does this suggest to you that the defendants in the Regis University v. you-know-who suit are coming unglued? That they have lost track of their business model and gone off the rails? That internecine warfare breaks out at Sunday dinners? ("Bad mother!" "Disloyal daughter!" "Why is Mommy mad at Gramma, daddy?" "Oh, Gramma's thinking about suing her children, sweetie, it's just something she does sometimes.")

    In marked contrast, Henrik is (to my recollection) unfailingly civil in tone.

    How many ready-made schools has he sold? The lecturers may be getting rather busy if they end up over-booked.

    I've noticed that scam artists don't usually advertise how many victims they've goatbagged*.




    *imitation is the most sincere form of flattery, (goatbag is galanga term that seems to be catching on)

    Why, Gregg, I'm sorry. I thought the qualifier "I think" would have shown that I was using hyperbole - to a Delawarean, of course, the world circles around us.

    I'd guess that it's true that a relatively large percentage of the national/international companies in the USA are incorporated in Delaware. If you take into account all the "mom & pop" operations that are incorporated in the USA, it would be only a small percentage of all the corporations in the USA that are incorporated in Delaware.
