Talk:Ashwood University/Archive 1

Associations

Lorenz University and Speedy Degrees is operated by same people. They have even created a fake accreditation organization to accredit their universities. This article shouldn't be deleted but maybe should be renamed or something. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.191.175.217 (talk) 06:36, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

If you have a wp:verifiable source for this infomation then it can be added to the article. Thank you, TallMagic (talk) 12:05, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

I don't think we can really prove the connection. Everyone has a speculation but no real research has been done yet. I'm just saying that we should keep the article, maybe rewrite.

Take a look:

• http://www.degreeadvice.com/ashwooduniversity/index.html

These are the universities' addresses:

• http://www.lorenzuniversity.com/university/fee.asp
• http://www.speedydegrees.com/speedydegrees/fee.asp
• http://www.ashwooduniversity.net/ashwood/online-degrees/buy-a-degree.asp

They all look same. Lorenz University seems new and we don't have an article yet. Rochville University and Belford University seems operated by same people. I couldn't find any verifiable material but I'll search more.

For accreditation:

Internal sources shouldn't be used but just take a look: List of unrecognized accreditation associations of higher learning

They are listed and they all link to themselves:

• http://www.woeac.org/inner/UsefulSites.htm
• http://www.iaaou.org/inner/Res.htm
• http://www.ucoea.org/html/othersites.htm

We need to find verifiable research material about that to verify the connection so we can use them. I'll research more about that.

Maybe we should create a section or article about "degrees based on life experiences" or a subpage on diploma mill because this is the only thing which we can verify. They're all claiming that. AreaOfEffect (talk) 01:09, 7 November 2009 (UTC)
