Diploma mills "often" are unaccredited

"Diploma mills assume the trappings of an institution of higher learning but often are unaccredited, and they usually award degrees for a fee and not because of any academic achievement."
-- http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A26006-2003Jul21.html

I'd be most interested to know about the exceptions.

 

Any school one doesn't like.

 

Arguably schools like St. Regis in the DL arena.

The WAUC schools, along with schools accredited by many other spurious domestic accreditors.

 

If you were "married" by a spurious minister, then you're not married.
If you were "accredited" by a spurious accreditor, then you're not accredited.

What about "usually award degrees for a fee and not because of any academic achievement"? Any exceptions to that? (Please don't bring up Kennedy Western. The statement is about "diploma mills", not substandard schools.)

 

If you have 5 spurious $100 bills, how much money have you?

Speaking of St. Regis ...

If the government is overthrown I wonder if the new government will be so fond of accrediting this "school" (term used loosly).
Honestly, they have bigger things to worry about for a while ... like a bunch of US Marines ...

 

Five hundred dollars that you can redeem at any WAUC school?

 

Of Course! If they personally accept it, and personally value it to be legitmate currency regardless to its actual worth...For an extra hundred you can get a second degree at any other WAUC school of your choice!

 

Watch it, now. Any more cornu jokes like that and you'll have to repent in dust and ashers.

 

Last I heard she was doing an on-site accreditation visit for Atlantis University .
