New Education Department Web Site Helps Combat Problem of Diploma Mills
“This new Web site—http://www.ope.ed.gov/accreditation/—is an important tool to combat the growing industry of diploma mills that scam unsuspecting consumers and employers by offering fraudulent degrees,” said Assistant Secretary of Education Sally Stroup. “On behalf of Secretary Spellings, I would like to thank Senator Collins and Congressmen Boehner, Castle, Davis and McKeon for their support. This Web site is the first step in our continued efforts to increase awareness and provide useful information to the public.”
