Christie signs 'diploma mill law'

[Virtual Bison]

Agree.  There may be a problem, but it's not for the government to decide.  We've all seen plenty of RA dissertations that were perfunctory, plagiarized, collaborated or outright lies and no government busy-bodies were tossing people in the clink over that.  Let the academic work speak for itself, without filtering it through government mind guards first.

This accredidation bullshit is really starting to get to me. You have POS schools which are accredited and selling micky mouse degrees and then some decent schools are labeled as diploma mills by the higher authorities just because they did not have the juice to get accredited. And in the end its the students who suffer.

And these government authorities who claim to know what is best for you and I are really quite worthless. This is no longer "of the people, by the people and for the people."

BTW Do you know whats really interesting? In California you can take the bar exam without setting foot in a law school. Its noteworthy that this was the case in the US and elsewhere in the old days. Lincoln never attended law school and neither did Clarence Darrow. Its also noteworthy that many graduates of law schools could not pass the bar exam. The current mayor of Chicago, Richard J Daley Jr. passed the bar exam on his third try.
