    Press Release: April 1, 2001

    The American Association of Illegitimately Credentialed Faculty Persons, founded in 1928, has operated since that time as somewhat of a secret society. Status in the organization is achieved by obtaining a certain number of *degrees* (1-33).

    Criteria for maintaining one's membership includes, but is not limited to, the following:

    1. Serve as a full-time faculty person at a regionally accredited institution.

    2. Hold a terminal degree from a less-than-wonderful school, e.g., one accredited by WAUC, ACI, Norfolk Island, the Kamakazeee Indian Tribe, or the nations of Cyprus and Denmark.

    3. Take a solemn vow which insures the continuation of the organization, even to having one's tongue cut off if such secrets are divulged.

    4. Learn the secret AAICFP hand shake.

    5. Purchase, and wear, the AAICFP ring.

    6. Attend weekly AAICFP meetings.

    7. Seek to garner faculty positions for other AAICFP members, working behind the scenes as a facilitator.

    8. Complete loyalty to the AAICFP mission statement: "To infiltrate American academe for the purpose of promoting less-than-wonderful educational institutions and methodologies."

    9. Payment of all AAICFP dues.

    Since 1998, AAICFP has become more visible in its objectives, and applications are currently being accepted for prospective members.

    If interested please contact Dr. Winston James Turintine IV, Dean of Harvard School of Education. He may be reached at 1-900-900-9000.

    Nice parody, Russell. However, I do have a question. As a relative newbie, I'm familiar with the reputations of WAUC, ACI, Norfolk Island, and Cyprus in this regard. I would imagine that the influence of the Kamakazeee Indian Tribe (if it exists) would be minimal. But, I would be truly surprised to learn that the Danish educational establishment had "approved" any mills. Do you have any specific examples? Remember, I've only been around here (and the late a.e.d.) for a short while. I look forward to your reply. Happy April Fools' Day!

    Yes, Mamorse, and welcome to the forum! A little April Fool's Day fun on the parody.

    Northwestern International University, LTD, claims to be registered in Cyprus and to have administrative offices in Denmark. As to mill status, well, a quick look at their web site, www.universitydegree.com , and all questions should be answered.

    Knightsbridge University is run by a Dane, and, as I recall, had a Danish presence for some years, although the umcampus is in the west of England, and the authorization to grand degrees comes from Antigua and Barbuda. www.knightsbridge-uni.com
