    The list is incomplete and inaccurate. Ignore it. Instead look at the Oregon ODA list.

    Perhaps I should not be surprised that our University of Metaphysics apologist is, himself, the holder of a degree from another unwonderful school operated out of a UPS Store, Ambai University, as shown here.

    Sir with all due respect you are wrong. The University of Metaphysics is a RELIGIOUS educational institution and is EXEMPT from any so called "accreditation requirements". They do in fact mention that they aren't accredited by any DOE recognized agency. It's there you just have to read it.

    UOM has full degree granting authority from the state of California, and no, these credentials are not illegal to use in Florida. Do your research and you'll see that Florida is a "religious exempt" state. I live in Florida, and know what I'm talking about.

    Even the states of Oregon, and Texas cannot stop anyone who graduated from UOM or similar institution from using their degrees. In fact, the Texas Supreme court has already started to move to remove any state law from regulating academic credentials of religious nature when they realized that they were in violation of the First Amendment of the Constitution of the United States.

    Oregon one day will have to do the same to distinguish the difference between REAL diploma mills, and good schools that are simply not required to be RA or simply chose not to be. They could open themselves up to lawsuits, and sanctions if they fail to do this.

    Accreditation is a VOLUNTARY process in this country and created ONLY for the purpose of allowing an institution of learning to be able to accept Federal financial aid. Keep in mind that accreditation agencies are PRIVATE, and for profit, and are not affiliated with any government agencies as some people mistakenly believe.

    They charge exorbitant annual fees to the schools so it has become a big business and it is in their best interest to increase their "market share" by demonizing any school or institution that doesn't carry their "approval". It's not different than the Chicago mob charging small businesses for "protection", and pay up or "else" kind of mentality.

    Graduates of UOM, and other similar institutions can get as far in life as they want with the knowledge, and credentials they earned from their respective schools. They're not going to find a job as metaphysicians through the local classifieds or Monster.com. They create their own opportunities by teaching, writing, healing, and inspiring others to find their purpose.

    Lastly, UOM graduated ministers are not obligated to operate under the charter of the IMM if they don't wish, and therefore won't have to pay the $60 annual fee that seems to "poke you in the ribs" so much.

    You make such a big deal of that $60 fee even though you fail to mention that there is a service attached in exchange that many practicing UOM graduated ministers may find desirable. Yet it's interesting you don't mention the crazy tuition fees charged by regular colleges, and universities due in part to those exorbitant accreditation agency annual memberships. When you finally realize this, then we'll talk about SCAMS!

    Fair enough?

    Typical diploma mill apologetics. :-(

    Except for the lie about why accreditation was created. It was created before federal student aid. It was created to improve and ensure educational quality standards.
