    Sweden's Labour Minister Sven Otto Littorin has updated his CV on the government's website, removing all references to his MBA from Fairfax University in Louisiana, a non-accredited institution widely regarded as a degree mill.
    ....
    Littorin at first insisted that the MBA was valid and refused to remove it from his resume. This led to condemnation from opposition politicians, including former Social Democrat education minister Leif Pagrotsky, and government-supporting commentators in the media.

    Oddly, on the latter page there's an online advertisement

    University Degree Mill
    Move your career forward with an accredited online degree!
    www.CourseAdvisor.com

    that leads to a seemly legitimate wizard for selecting an online degree program. I guess the ad's writer didn't read the story about what a degree mill is.
