The Alabama findings indicate that BSU is properly classified as a diploma mill under the federal definition.


Can Dr. Gollin kindly provide us with the exact findings of the Alabama dept. of postsecondary education which indicate that BSU is a diploma mill?

And also, if possible, a refresher of the federal definition of a diploma mill so that we can compare?

To my knowledge, the reasons given for the revocation of BSU's Alabama license had to do with the structure of its programs which did not comply with specific regulations. There was no evidence that BSU did not provide education or about the quality of the education provided. And, most importantly, there was no evidence or indication that BSU sells degrees without expecting the completion of substantial work from its students.

If Dr. Gollin can provide concrete facts that indicate otherwise, it's about time he did so and stop the bullshit about archived websites that show past connections with St. Regis, or how much fun he has with the BSU's "comic" running from state to state. BSU started running from state to state after they suddenly and without warning or notification or a chance to comply lost their license thanks to the efforts of Dr. Gollin, so that Dr. Gollin can indulge in his twisted sense of fun.

We do agree that BSU operated for more than two years without proper registration or license, we also agree that they had a connection with St. Regis for a brief period of time and have been using a sort of phony self accreditation. The connection with a phony or non-existent medical school claimed by Gollin is not exactly accurate though. BSU's connection - they just provided pre med courses to qualified students - was with a real university with proper medical training facilities in a small island (I don't recall the name). This university had the connections with the medical schools in England and not BSU.

The question is, do the above facts make BSU a diploma mill if despite all that they provide real and substantial education? OK, let's rephrase this question. Even if we decide that BSU should be closed down because of the chaotic, stupid and inept way it has been run by its administrators, should we ridicule, humiliate and hound its graduates who got their degrees after they completed a proper course of studies, while BSU was properly licensed by a US state?

I'm sure it wouldn't bother Gollin in the least if all BSU grads were publicly humiliated and forever held in contempt by their fellow citizens. Hell, he might even chuckle and congratulate himself for his groundbreaking work in identifying and destroying degree mills. He's just that type of guy ...

Just wondering what is the status of BSU today?
