			Hello fellow Wikipedians,

			I have just added archive links to {{plural:3\|one external link\|3 external links}} on ]. Please take a moment to review . If necessary, add {{tlx\|cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it. Alternatively, you can add {{tlx\|nobots\|deny{{=}}InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether.

	==LBU States they are Not Accredited and Limitations==

			{{sourcecheck\|checked=false}}
	Limited life credit is in line with practices at Regionally Accredited schools. See Excelsior (http://www.excelsior.edu) as an example. LBU does not offer entire degrees by Life Credit (allegation under diploma mill section of article). The BBFI approval is factual and they do not represent it as accreditation. They are blatant about their lack of accreditation (mentioning that they are NOT accredited several times and LIMITATIONS of their degrees). Your statement that the degrees are not valid is inaccurate. They have approval to issue degrees. Now, utility is another matter and they are open about limited utility. Statements that they have accreditation by fake accrediting agencies (allegation under diploma mill section) are blatantly false and that is why NO ONE can provide a reference from their site or catalogue to support the claim. They do not offer degrees by Life Credit. NO ONE can support that claim from LBU's web site or catalogue as it is FALSE.

			== Accreditation ==
	I appreciate the warning. I realize that there must be an arbitration or complaint process. I find the bullying tactics rather interesting. If I post factual information and ask others to support their assertions and they cannot BUT yet we leave the inaccurate material because it suits a preconceived agenda....that is bullying. Then in spite of repeated requests for people to support their assertions with references (they did not because they cannot) I am threatened. Rather distasteful situation and accused of being a "socket puppet".

			Just wanted to give a heads up on what edits I have made. Firstly, this school is a mill. When the staff all has degrees from other mils and the school in question, we have issues. Secondly, I have cleaned up the whole section on accreditation. By that I mean I have deleted all the nonsense that was not related to accreditation in any way.

			Hello fellow Wikipedians,
	::: I find it rather amusing that anyone (without an agenda) would question that a degree from an unaccredited institution might not be good enough to get someone employed or admitted to another institution of higher learning, just as it might not be good enough to allow the legal use of titles. With respect to LBU, in particular, we have an institution with a somewhat less than desirable reputation, unaccredited, and does not seek accreditation, and that engages in other uncommon practices (e.g., it does not provide the results of graduate "research" through conventional means). I'd be curious to see if there are any statistics available with respect to placement of graduate students in jobs in government or the private sector (other than the very narrow area of "ministry"). How many LBU grads are employed, in areas associated with their "degrees," at, oh, Lockheed-Martin? CitiBank? The United States government? May one with a master's or doctorate from LBU serve in the military as a chaplain (the answer to that one is ""). These are all valid points to consider when one is trying to evaluate the value of an education obtained from ''any'' institution, let alone one that is not accredited. In the end, it isn't the invocation of "weasel words" (a phrase commonly used by Gastrich, by the way, and this is only one factor that exposes "Jack" as a Gastrich sock) to declare that a degree from an institution such as LBU may not be enough to get someone a job or into another educational institution. It's common sense. Meanwhile, a bit of commentary on the use of "weasel words" by Gastrich, himself, and how and why he uses them. - ] 09:20, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

			That google group on education had multiple government officials, Allan, Dr. Bear, and more. These are the people congress turns to for input on nonstandard education.

	Unaccredited Degrees

	(1) Users of unaccredited degrees may use the degrees in the following ways.

	(a) '''Unaccredited degrees that have achieved ODA approval under ORS 348.609(d) can be used without a disclaimer.'''

	(b) Unaccredited degrees that have not achieved ODA approval under ORS 348.609(d) can only be used with a disclaimer.

	(c) Degrees issued by degree mills are invalid for use, with or without a disclaimer.

	(2) '''Process for approval under ORS 348.609(d). A claimant of an unaccredited U.S. degree may submit to the Office information indicating that the school conferring the degree has the legal authority to issue degrees in another state and could reasonably be considered for approval in Oregon under OAR 583-030.'''

	(a) A reasonable possibility of approval can be demonstrated by submitting to ODA the appropriate review fee and sufficient evidence that the unaccredited institution could meet ODA academic standards under OAR 583-030 for authorization to operate in Oregon if it chose to make such an application.

	(b) ODA may, upon its own motion, evaluate an unaccredited institution and determine whether it has a reasonable chance to meet Oregon authorization standards without a degree user making such a request.

	(c) If a request for evaluation under this section is not made to ODA within 30 days of notification that an unaccredited degree is being used contrary to Oregon law, the degree user's right to such a review is waived and ODA may pursue appropriate enforcement action. Degree users may, within the first 30 days, request up to 30 additional days for the purpose of gathering material necessary to apply for an evaluation.

	(3) A claimant of a non-U.S. degree issued by a degree supplier not accredited by a U.S. accreditor may submit to the Office information proving that the supplier issuing the degree has the following characteristics.

	(a) The supplier is operating legally as a degree-granting institution in its host country.

	(b) The host country has a postsecondary approval system equivalent to U.S. accreditation in that it applies qualitative measures by a neutral external party recognized in that role by the government.

	(c) The supplier has been approved through the demonstrable application of appropriate standards by the host country's accreditor equivalent.

	(d) All degrees issued by the supplier are legally valid for use and professional licensure within the host country.

	Stat. Auth.: ORS 348.609
	Stats. Implemented: ORS 348.603, 348.609, 348.992 & SB 1039 (2005 OL, Ch. 546)

	Should the honorary degrees be mentioned at all? Many colleges award these for publicity purposes or to award someone speaking at a particular ceremony.

Multiple problems

Under the heading Accreditation there are multiple false claims and weasel word. Also its memberships and associations are not accreditation so needs to be moved.

I want to add information about its past claims to be accredited as well as it lossing the one actual accreditation it held.

Lastly it is not authorized or approved to grant degrees by anyone. They are exempt, huge difference. I am pinging User:Mvbaron because of the last reverted he did. Super (talk) 16:37, 6 December 2021 (UTC)

Hej Supercopone your first part of the edit was sourced to google groups - which is not a reliable source, and the second part was unsourced. --Mvbaron (talk) 17:31, 6 December 2021 (UTC)

That google is an exception due to the fact they were pioneers in distance education reform. The gentleman I cited is considered to be a top expert in degree mill and alternative education. We have a long history of using their information. I cited the schools own use of the accreditation per there website. I will improve sources and post here Super (talk) 17:36, 6 December 2021 (UTC)

I’m pretty sure we can’t use personal conversations. But yeah if you have more sources, the content should be brought back! Mvbaron (talk) 18:05, 6 December 2021 (UTC)

That google group on education had multiple government officials, Allan, Dr. Bear, and more. These are the people congress turns to for input on nonstandard education. I encourage you to take a look at the sources one more time. Second problem is TRACs refuses to provide information on schools it has previously accredited like LBU. So it tall occurring pre common internet makes it hard to find sources on it failing Tracs accreditation. it will put some stuff together! Thanks!Super (talk) 19:50, 8 December 2021 (UTC)

Ok found a great source. Name_it_and_frame_ it. Lets get those links restored. I think them losing their accreditation is something that they are wanting to hide and make claims they chose not to be accredited. Being rejected from multiple accreditation bodies is telling.Super (talk) 20:03, 8 December 2021 (UTC)

Ok User:Mvbaron what do you think?Super (talk) 03:42, 21 December 2021 (UTC)
