    Dear Board,

    You are not going to believe this story. I was having a lecture last week on government corruption during the 1870's and 1880's. I mentioned, of course, that Hayes and Cleveland took steps to try and control it. In the course of the discussion, I brought up the lady that had bought her degrees and used them in the Department of Homeland Security. One of my students wanted to know where he could "buy" a degree and not have to continue on. After the laughter died down, ( this is a 6 am course ya know) I chided him for thinking that way and a non RA degree is a time bomb waiting to happen. In this, I took their challenge to "buy" a degree to show how useless it is. I did just that. I "bought" the Phd ( thank God, now I know my future A&M Phd is worthless.....lol) and was instructed on how to send the money. Ladies and gentlemen, I am to pay a person by money order. Not the school, not a corporation, but a person. They gave me the address and instructions on how to send. I think I am in the twilight zone or mission impossible. Wowzers!!!!!!

    Mark,

    Are you sure I can? I mean legal issues and all. I think she is a money drop or something. She is right down the street from me.

    I'm not a lawyer. What are you afraid of being sued for? Did you sign a non-disclosure agreement or other contract? In general, truth is an absolute defence against libel, so I wouldn't worry about being sued for libel.

    Does this disturb anyone? I mean the customer is making out the money order to a person, not a corporation...but a person. Where is education going to?

    Gus,

    Umm, how does Lexington University get paid. I mean someone has to pay for the "huge" campus. Gosh if only my campus ( Texas A&M or University of Houston) looked like that, not eternal construction.

    Michael, I am curious as to how you originally accessed the information concerning Lexington University (Web site, etc.), as I am aware of four different degree mills that have used this name. If you prefer not to reveal this information publicly, I would appreciate it you sending it via the private message function of this forum.

    Thanks,

    Wow...

    The site is so brazen it boggles the mind.
    It is interesting to see the links to the other "Universities" at the bottom of the home page. One would wonder why there would be advertisements to competition...unless they all had one and the same proprietor..... insights anyone???

    Veritas,

    Michael

    I don't think sites like this are nearly as insideous as Kennedy Western and Madison University. This one clearly indicates it's purpose is to pull the wool over someone's eyes for a "better job" "more money" etc. I almost ended up at Kennedy Western because it truly looked legit. Thank God I found this board.

    Guys,

    What was the site that quoted one of their "students" that with the degree he "earned" from the school, he got more dates. His dating life improved.. or something like that. Absolutely amazing. I have four degrees and working on a fifth. I have been called ...let's see..pathetic, running from life, crazy, weird, but it never improved my dating life. My fiancee' still calls me an idiot...lol
