Did CA authorized degrees expire?

    Here is an intersting article about a chiropractor in California who received a cease and desist letter from the Board of Chiropractic Examiners for using a Ph.D. acquired from a state authorized school back in the 80's.

    http://www.sacbee.com/111/story/153688.html

    At that time, California's "$50,000 law" was in effect, which permitted a school to obtain authorization to confer degrees if it held $50,000 in assets in the state of California, and met certain disclosure requirements.

    Although the "authorized" category no longer exists, I am not aware of any California law prohibiting their use in California. Has such prohibition been enacted?

    BTW, I readily acknowledge that some "less than wonderfuls" operated under this provision of the law. My question is, "Is it now unlawful to use authorized degrees in CA?"

    I'd have read the article except the website requires that you register to read it....

    Go to www.google.com
    Click "News"
    Search using these three terms: Sacramento, Bee, Chiropractic

    You should get a link to the story (the first one that comes up, likely.) You won't need to register. I don't know how Google does it, but it does.

    It's the second article, and you have to click on the "cached" article in order to be able to see it without registering.

    A lot of news agencies have modifications to their access files that allows Googlebots (which come from specific IP ranges) to have access to their otherwise protected areas. This is done so that the publications will show higher in Google rankings and, hopefully, get more people to sign up to read their articles.

    Are you sure? Google News doesn't have a cache function like Google does. (My instructions directed readers to Google News.)
