Quote:Quite obviously Hamster you do not understand the difference between Private Universities - of which there are over 5,000 in the world - and diploma mills!
So degree mills are "just private universities"? PFFT!
You forgot the punchline every university starts out unaccredited...
Come on...the lazy trooper/policeman wanting a pay increase quick&easy...the sleazy politician wanting letters after her name...the braggart who wants to be listed as an academic...people who (and they say it themselves) want a degree really fast and with as less work as possible...come on! The definition of "independent research" in your book, eh? Are THOSE the champions of freedom in academia?! Please...
I do not feel the need to fight for THEIR fast&effortless pay increase, or their vanity.
Why would I?
They are probably laughing all the way at poor clueless me.
I won't say a word about degree millsters because they are just vendors...hell, if there is a need for "big penis badges", someone is going to print those for sale...
I have nothing against vanity, either.
It's like the man who got past his fifth lifting...whatever floats his boat.
But don't try to bullsh.t me with freedom in academia tirades.
