Fears and Recommendations

My five biggest fears regarding diploma/degree mills:

1. Someone's health/well being will be put at risk. See NCAHF paper listed in EOTO.
2. Schools that are not accredited will continue to swindle naive consumers.
3. New mills will pop up daily.
4. Regulations will not be enforced.
5. These fake companies/organizations will find a way around regulations.

Recommendations:

1. All consumers MUST verify a school's accreditation through a minimum of two agencies including the Better Business Bureau or the attorney general's office (and preferrably not all online).
2. Institutions who misprepresent themselves must be held responsible financially and should be prosecuted accordingly.
