Agree.
And who thinks scamming the system is clever? Klempner, for one, a guy who makes his living off perpetuating this attitude. The clones you mention are just following the Klempner-approved party line.
Who would brag about scamming the system this way? Levijerkoff, for one, who is held up as the poster boy for this "cleverness" by people like Gus and Klempner.
Who allows this farce to continue? The regional accreditation system, a cartel designed to protect government and wealthy private higher education interests. When a private non-member operation does this exact thing it's called "conspiracy to commit mail fraud" and they get a 3-year all expense paid vacation courtesy of the US taxpayer.
