"Louisiana Baptist University is not accredited by any recognised accreditation body. As such, its degrees may not be acceptable to employers or other institutions, and use of degree titles may be restricted or illegal in some jurisdictions.". That is a pro-forma, used in all unaccredited universities. It is common to note in biographies where claimed doctorates are from unaccredited universisites. Where the places are known degree mills, we may call them such instead. Guy 09:46, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
