Think about it. During degree mill trials judges have never mandated minimum levels of instruction. Judges have ruled that "elements of instruction" must be provided before granting degrees. If "elements of instruction" are provided, the law is happy.
In his book Degree Mills, John Bear even reveals the millist he truly is by coming out and saying "But what about a college which requires a three page dissertation before awarding a degree? One man's diploma mill is another man's alternative university" leading the reader to believe that it's perfectly acceptable to earn an advanced degree by writing an essay.
Congress and States have had the power to require colleges to become accredited for centuries now, and to mandate minimum levels of education. Whenever legislature comes together to discuss the possibility of a law they say "Well, we agree that instantdegrees needs to go, but what about the ones who make them do a little work? How do we define between awful and criminal?" suggesting that they want awful colleges to stay in business.
