What are some of the dumbest degree mills have you seen?
#1
Everybody has seen degree mills with funny names(Barkley, Stamford, Cambrodge,etc), funny fake accreditors(CACA, Central American Council of Accreditation will never leave me stop laughing) or Mill owners (Lord Dr. Dr. Dr. Trans Eagle God of the All Known She/Her whatever), but...

What are some of the funniest you have heard, any particular story with them?

Ah, I just remembered about the Centros Universitarios Lopez Obrador(CULOs), and the Association of Student Services (ASS) Accreditor.

The London Institute for Applied Research was co-founded by OG distance education guide writer John Bear in the late 60s or early 70s. (It was a different time, lots of crazy stuff went on, etc.) As a fundraising promotion it offered honorary doctorates for $100. Ads stated the degrees had "no legitimacy in the academic world."

Oh, yes, I remember reading about that on this forum, also the Universal Life Church Doctor of the Universe for like $100 and that site you can print a PhD on Underwater Basketweaving degree for free.

Not a degree mill by any means, but the funniest legitimate school name was when George Mason University decided to rename their school of law for the recently deceased Antonin Scalia.  The name chosen was the Antonin Scalia School of Law.  

Pretty quickly, the twitterverse figured out that the acronym for this was ASSLAW.  

So the school decided to rename the school the Antonin Scalia Law School, which is almost an acronym for "assholes".

(Gasp!) You just called him an a**h*le! Archbishops don't like that! Chief Swift Eagle Justice included a line on his websites, that anyone who defamed him, in any way, would be sued for TEN MILLION DOLLARS. But he died a few years ago, so you're probably safe. No se preocupe, amigo.
