Salam Permias,
Lewat jalur pribadi, seorang rekan memberitahu web dibawah:
http://cust3.iamerica.net/easywave/top10.htm
Sekolahnya Maya ada di situ semua. Potongan berita di web itu saya sertakan
di bawah. Saya kira hal ini perlu dipublikasika. Entah itu
untuk mencegah penipuan dari sekolah sejenis ataupun mencegah orang-orang
untuk memakai gelar seenaknya. Saya kawatir Indonesia selain inflasi
kebutuhan pokok bisa nantinya inflasi gelar
professor dan doktor yang terlalu banyak...:)
Lagi pula, sebagian besar yang ikut sekolah itu adalah orang asing. Salah
satu dekan sekolah swasta di Jakarta
ada juga yang mendapat gelar dari sekolah di bawah.
Kasihan orang-orang yang kuliah di sekolah beneran dan enggak lulus-lulus
... :(
Jabat erat,

THE TOP TEN
This is a listing of America's TOP 10 Diploma Mills
RECEIVING A DEGREE FROM
ONE OF THESE "SCHOOLS" CAN BE DANGEROUS TO YOUR REPUTATION.
We have decided to increase this list and will continue to add diploma mills
as they are brought to our attention.� If you know of a diploma mill not
listed, please e-mail us with the information.�� Do not ask us to recommend
a school for you, we will not do so, as we believe this would be in direct
contradiction with our mission.� There are other sources available on the
Internet and we would direct you to those sources for that kind of
information.�� (See Dr. Bear's Degree Net or DETC).� Feel free to nominate
an institution for this list.
Note:� A diploma mill is defined as an institution offering post-secondary
degrees which claims an unrecognized accreditation or makes materially false
claims as to the acceptance of their degrees.� If a school doesn't want to
be listed here, they should either get accredited or stop offering
post-secondary degrees.� YES, IT IS THAT SIMPLE!

#1 COLUMBIA STATE UNIVERSITY
Columbia State was recently featured on CNET Central and thus has earned its
place on our number one spot, narrowly edging out the now infamous La Salle
University.� Columbia State University is another of Louisiana's famous
diploma mills. Featured recently in an article by the Chronicle of Higher
Education. It bills itself as fully accredited, and wow! You can get your
degree in only 27 days! Unfortunately they operate an aggressive marketing
campaign suckering in many foreign students who aren't aware of the lax
standards for institutions of higher learning in the United States.� See Dr.
Bear's site for a complete expose on Columbia State University.
#2 LA SALLE UNIVERSITY
La Salle University located in Mandeville Louisiana bills itself as
America's leader in distance education, this is a ploy used by most diploma
mills. They build themselves up as the best, when in reality they are the
worst. Raided by the FBI, they continue to operate in the state of
Louisiana, they utilize aggressive marketing tactics and advertise in major
publications throughout the world.� Too bad for many of their former
students who are currently embroiled in a class action lawsuit against the
school. Check out their web site and what the local newspaper has to say
about them. After their former leader was sentenced to five years in prison
his attorney took over the school and appointed a group of local politico's
to keep the cash cow roaming as usual. If you are a resident of the State of
Louisiana contact your local representatives and demand that the loopholes
allowing unaccredited degree granting institutions to operate be closed.
#3 CHADWICK UNIVERSITY
Chadwick University of Alabama bills itself as accredited by the bogus World
Association of University's and Colleges, what it doesn't bother to tell
students is that this is a totally unrecognized agency, specializing in
"gimme $1000 bucks, and I give you accreditation." They operate through a
loophole in state law which allows an unaccredited school to operate as long
as they don't rip off state residents, so they do not accept students from
the state of Alabama and the state turns a blind eye. According to our
research they are one of the largest diploma mills in the country, next to
LA SALLE.� Chadwick University also operates the American Institute of
Computer Science.
#4 AMERICAN STATE UNIVERSITY
American State University
#5 AMERICAN INTERNATIONAL UNIVERSITY
#6 COLUMBUS UNIVERSITY
Columbus University of Louisiana claims accreditation from the bogus World
Association of University's and Colleges.
#7 MONTICELLO UNIVERSITY
Monticello University
#8 FREDERICK TAYLOR UNIVERSITY
Frederick Taylor University
#9 PACIFIC WESTERN UNIVERSITY
Pacific Western University
#10 CITY UNIVERSITY
City University
#11 KENNEDY WESTERN UNIVERSITY
Kennedy Western
#12 TRINITY UNIVERSITY
Operating a predominately Internet based school, this institution claims an
address in Great Britain.� They brazenly declare a degree is just a buzz
word and that experience is just as good, so you can get your "accredited"
degree based solely upon your resume. See their webpage by clicking here.
