American Meridian University?

Does anyone have any info on this university? Is it considered 'mill' or merely 'unaccredited'? The website screams red flags to me.

After some reading around the website, the only faculty name I found was a Dr. Bob Gee, led me to this article: Attorney general Coakley sues ex-Falmouth college president for over millions in excessive pay and perks - Metro - The Boston Globe

 

Not a Mill, state approved unaccredited University.

This is a CA state approved but Unaccredited University.
They applied for WASC accreditation and are listed as applicant.
Means - applied but not candidates.

I suspect that Post #1 in this thread refers to American Meridian University, a Florida-approved unaccredited school located in Miami, FL.

I suspect that Post #2 in this thread refers to Meridian University, a California-approved unaccredited school located in Petaluma, CA.

Many schools around the US (and worldwide) have similar names, which commonly leads to confusion. This is why posters in this forum are always asked to include links to the schools under discussion.

 

Sorry for forgetting to include the link. Yes, I was referring to the place in Miami. The fact that they adverstise "Honorary Doctorates" on their website Honarary Doctorates | American Meridian University raises a red flag. Typically a university approaches the person they are going to award, not take suggestions from email. "Florida approved" means nothing to me since it is basically involves some paperwork and paying a fee.
