NC state senators please take notice...

of a great step Oregon is making in the fight against a billion dollar sham. (Although personally, I think the real crime is in the selling not really in the buying. But that's for you all to mesh out for yourselves.) While I can't remember reading where thousands of fake degrees were ever discovered originating in any city in North Carolina, I wouldn't bank on that being a permanent situation. Legislation like this, that specifies the con, needs to be on the books. A very clear message needs to be sent.

For more information about diploma mills, check out the Wiki entry. And this article by John Bear is worth reading too.
