I made a complaint to the Middle States Commission on Higher Education (A Regional Accreditor) about Excelsior College, the state sponsored diploma mill which allows one to sit for a single substandard GRE and then award the student an advanced degree. Excelsior has been operating since the 1970s, and has released hundreds of thousands of students out into the world with criminal credentials. An advanced degree based on a single easy 120 question test!
They emailed me back and told me that they only accept postmarked complaints.
Sounds like something the Department of Education's inspector general might be interested in, as discussed here. Or they would be if Excelsior was a for-profit. Maybe you can get MSCHE kicked to the curb along with NCACS.
The DoEd's Inspector General was kicked to the curb and replaced a few days ago. This new stuttering child doesn't seem to be the type to followthrough.
In some amount of perverted logic, Congress and the DOE seem to WANT degree mills to exist. It appears that neither Congress or the DOE WANT to regulate schools or accreditors.
Short paper curriculums? Fine.
30 credits on a single 90 minute test? Sure.
Advanced degrees awarded on a single easy multiple choice test? Just peachy.
It appears that the United States Education System is in love with degree mills.
