More on Touro:
"One dangerous thing they did was give degrees to physicians' assistants."
--Associated Press
It wasn't enough that they sold phoney degrees. They sold degrees that could be used in ways that could cause serious harm or even deaths.

as i say
Hullaballoo University, that advertises on ebay in the open, will ask $59.99 for a B.A, and even send it COD: everybody can do it online with a credit card.
In these "high-end" cases, there is a mafia procedure involved made of secret encounters in varying locations and the services of "Jimmy Bag"...
Ebay degree mills pose serious threats to education in a ruthless conspiracy; buyers of ebay milled degrees should hung high, but in the case of Touro
Quote:Touro spokeswoman Barbara Franklin said the college was aware of the investigation and has cooperated fully. Touro brought the wrongdoing to the attention of the district attorney's office, she said.
The scheme was "confined to what appears to have been a betrayal of trust by persons with responsibility for the integrity of the record-keeping," she said.
Hell, poor Mordechai & poor mr. Buffun pressed the wrong button twice...holy Moses! Can we just leave them alone or what?

The difference between that and a blatant mill is that a blatant mill offers its "services" to anyone, while other arrangements require much red carpet and insider's knowledge of people who are willing to "help"...for a substantial fee, of course.
Years ago in Italy something similar happened.
To give another example, fast-passports from some poor African countries are publicly advertised; fast-passports from first world countries exist as well, but are very expensive and known to few.
Now we're getting somewhere, but you don't have the information available. That's too bad, it might have been useful.
Let's stay on-topic: RA schools that behave like mills. Info please. Best is if you can point to something that was a stronger kind of badness than just a corrupt person doing business on the side. Let's have some specifics about INSTITUTIONAL bad behavior.

OK, now we're gettig a little traction. Unfortunately, the link is to something written as an opinion piece, without much indication of where the raw information resides. Maybe we'll see things tighten upo if you all pay attention to the quality of their raw data.

Got anything to show that the Touro top level administrators knew about it? Touro acts like it was unaware of this. maybe, maybe not. A smoking gun would be useful to find.
Same thing with the Southern University problem. A single corrupt person does not a a diploma mill make, or an accreditor bring down.

DR ANATIDAE Wrote:There is a very large number of accredited universities that have been name 'mills', here’s a few of them – Union Institute & University (very nearly terminated over the RCD 5-month PhD fiasco), Phoenix, Charter Oak, Touro, Southern, Florida A&M, Capella, Western Governors, Canyon, CCU, Excelsior and Ashwood, etc., etc., etc.
In addition, numerous B&M RA universities openly sell honorary degrees for money – in very ‘mill-like’ operations.

Dr. Duck, don't be thick. This is why nobody with a brain bothers to read your stuff, it's useless.
You name a number of schools that "have been called mills." But come forth with supporting data. Otherwise your yelling is not helpful and makes you look like a pompous shite poke.
Let's have facts, not unsupported drivel.
3 inspectors appeared for some kind of accreditation review from one of the RA agencies. The owner of the university placed them in a nice hotel, took them to a hockey game and them some other cool places.
The next day looked at some documents and after 3 hours left.
So 1 week visit was shorten to 3 hour visit :-).
I think they went to the most expensive French restaurant for couple times.
When we deal with People we have good and corrupted everywhere.

Are you saying that I not only wrote plays and poems in Elizabethan times but also took steroids and ran in races. Damn I'm versatile.

Obviously you are far too thick to interpret the 'message'. In depth information on the 'accredited mills' I listed is readily available, but obviously you need lessons in how/where to extract such information. Please go back to DD and that other porn channel ASAP - that's obviously where you belong.
