Does the law favor degree mills?

[RespectableGent]

Hi RespectableGent,

Well,"Diploma mill credentials devalue the legitimate degrees earned by millions of individuals through hard work, persistence and achievement." Degrees and diplomas issued by diploma mills are frequently used for fraudulent purposes, such as obtaining employment, promotions, raises, or bonuses on false pretenses. Diploma Mill News provides excerpts of articles and press releases related to bogus degrees, padded CVs, identity theft, and impersonations of licensed professionals.

Thanks

Who says it's fraudulent to get a raise based on a degree rightfully and legally earned?

There's nothing special about a school that makes it a school. A degree is a piece of paper issued by a CORPORATION. The University of Pheonix is a corporation just like Almeda University is a corporation. Both have equal right to issue degrees at their own discretion and for whatever they want, just like KMart can issue out employee of the month awards for whatever it wants.

State government regularly license degree mills to operate. If the school is licensed to operate, that makes its degrees as legal and ethical as any other.
