Re: Breyer State University AL non-bar J.D. Degree program
Posted by JF on 3/18/08

    Dear Judy:

    I did go to the wedsite and I did notice that BSU is on the list in the right side. But
    my question is? Has Breyer State been adjudicated a diploma mill by a court of law? And
    if that is the case, how is it legal for them to continue operating? Why do both the
    University of Phoenix and Breyer State University have the same type of licensing in the
    State of Alabama.

    Judy, take a look for yourself. Google "Alabama College System" or go to;

    http://www.acs.cc.al.us/ged/faq/eligible.aspx

    Then got tab for Private School Licensing, you can look up Breyer U and U of Phoenix
    and lots of other colleges,universities and schools.

    On this government website you can see all the degrees that each school can lawfully
    award.

    I think the State of Alabama Dept. of Post Secondary Education/College System must have
    evaluated and determined that Breyer State University is a valid educational
    institution. I mean it is the State of Alabama that authorizes Breyer State University
    to award legal degrees.

    I did notice that when you click on the name "Breyer State University" it takes you to
    the WikiPedia Encyclopedia information page on Breyer State University. I was not aware
    of this entry. But the Wikipedia page does not list any official sources of the
    information in fact it appears that anyone, maybe even you or I could add information to
    Wikipedia.

    It also appears as if anyone could start a Wikipedia entry on anything or any school and
    say whatever we want to say about that school.

    Well all this aside, what I was previously trying to tell you is still holds true, that
    is, if for example Oregon State evaluates any of the online California DL law School
    which are not Regionally, Nationally or US Dept of Education accreditted or that the
    school has an "Official" sounding name than they (Oregon State) would probably place
    them on the Oregon State diploma mills list.

    Well, Oregon probably just hasn't gotten around to evaluating the California DL online
    law schools yet, its really not that important any way, so lets just forget about it.

    Thanks Judy.
