That’s partly because, while the university — which is operating as a nonprofit — will provide free scholarships to all 150 students it selects for admission, the team has been working to secure donations from corporations and organizations worldwide to pay for those scholarships.
Confusing The Academy’s address with the University’s seemed to be as much a result of naïveté on the part of you and your alleged experts, as it was a desire to ignore the true facts.
A reading of the University website and a referral to the documents previously sent to you should have put anyone on notice as to what our position is and put that “off the wall comment” in its place.

Evidence suggests that whatever documents the University claims to have obtained from the Commission were never approved by the Commission and do not bear the signature of the Chairperson.
HOWEVER: unexpectedly our university received a fax (not a signed letter) on October 2, 2004 (however it was dated July 22, 2004) informing us that Dr Bestman was not the proper authority to have signed the last set of certificates, OR that there was an additional signor required.
Because this change was apparently made without any notification to the university it is possible that the Minister of Education was making statements that conflicted with those from the National Higher Education Commission thus causing what seemed to be irrational attacks upon the reputation of our school.

In addition, it has been reported that some of these unaccredited schools have successfully objected against such laws, the most notable being Wyoming-based Kennedy-Western University, which sued Oregon to cease listing it as a diploma mill in 2004 http://www.oregonlive.com/news/oregonian/margie_boule/index.ssf?/base/living/1107867837315370.xml, claiming that its degree-holders had a First Amendment right to say they were degree-holders.
Oregon now lists Kennedy-Western as "unaccredited", stating that its "degrees do not meet requirements for employment by State of Oregon or for work in any profession licensed by the State of Oregon for which a degree is required" http://www.osac.state.or.us/oda/unaccredited.html.

 Faith Lens November 9-16, 2005
According to the indictment, the Randocks owned institutions identified as "Saint Regis University," "Robertstown University," "James Monroe University," "James Monroe University High School," and "Trinity Christian School." The schools falsely claimed to operate under the approval of the Liberian government.
The “schools” were closed by court order in June 2005, and are named by the State of Oregon’s Office of Degree Authorization as “fake schools” and “degree mills.” Such degrees are invalid, and a person using them to claim to have credentials associated with a degree from an accredited educational institution is committing fraud.
Federal investigators also assert that half the phony degrees sold by "Saint Regis University," "Robertstown University," and "James Monroe University" went to purchasers in foreign countries, many of whom were "students" from Saudi Arabia.
