Cary Nelson for Aaup President CARY NELSON FOR AAUP PRESIDENT Cary Nelson's high profile as a scholar, especially in the area of higher education policy; his strong support of both collective bargaining and advocacy chapters; his profound understanding of the challenges facing the Association and the academy; his proven fund-raising ability; and his indisputable commitment to AAUP principles make him, in my view, the ideal candidate." --Jane Buck, Delaware State University; AAUP President, 2000-2006* "In the years he has served the Association as a national officer, Cary Nelson has truly `paid his dues' by working selflessly to make AAUP principles work in the academy. He has done this the way a professor should, through witty analytical writing, passionate defense of contingent faculty and graduate students, and a willingness to be an activist on the national scene. Cary has the professional stature, imagination, and drive to be an extraordinary AAUP president. He has my total support." --Mary Burgan, Indiana University; AAUP General Secretary, 1994-2004* "Cary Nelson is absolutely fearless. His fortitude is exactly what the AAUP needs in this moment of national recidivism." --Andrew Ross, New York University, AAUP Chapter Co-President* From his candidate statement: "Our members are a wonderful resource; we must involve more of them in our activities. Each new generation needs to be educated about our values, and we must constantly apply these values to a changing world. Despite decades of careerism in the academy, there remains a vital core of idealism in the professoriate. This idealism can be tapped to make the AAUP stronger, larger, and more influential."

    Hands-On Admissions: Diploma Mills Ann M. Koenig, AACRAO International Education Services, USA [email protected] www.aacrao.org/international/ ©AACRAO 2006 HANDS-ON ADMISSIONS: Diploma Mills What is a “diploma mill”? A “diploma mill” or “degree mill” is an organization or individual that produces and sells diplomas, degrees, transcripts, or other academic records that are meant to give the impression of academic achievement, but really represent little or no study . Such credentials are “bogus” – “fakes” that give a false impression of educational achievement. Worthless documents from bodies that are not real, or not recognized, educational institutions Fraudulent misrepresentations of documents issued by legitimate institutions Why is diploma mill fraud a problem? Why is confirming the status of questionable institutions important? Ethical Reasons: Admission based on unexamined documents supports and rewards fraud. This devalues legitimate education and marks the higher education institution (HEI) as an easy target for fraudulent activity. Legal Reasons: By not reviewing documents carefully, the HEI could be violating the law. In most countries, being a part of a legal system that regulates credentials gives HEIs legal obligations. Practical Reasons: When it becomes known that a HEI supports fraud, its reputation suffers, and honest students stay away. Fraud is expensive; it takes resources away from honest applicants, and the process of trying to “fix” a problem case, or rebuild an entire reputation, wastes resources. What is the solution? Be PROACTIVE. Be prepared for FRAUD! Take fraud seriously. Educate yourself and your colleagues. Learn how to identify, collect and effectively use reliable sources of information. Do not rely on “lists”; learn how to analyze and research documents to confirm their legitimacy.

  • Belford University - Wikipedia
    Belford University - Wikipedia https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belford_University Belford University was an organization that offered online unaccredited degrees for "life experience". The organization maintained a post office box in Humble, Texas, but its certificates were mailed from the United Arab Emirates.[1] Along with many similar websites, it was owned by the Karachi-based company Axact, the main business of which, according to a New York Times investigation, is "to take the centuries-old scam of selling fake academic degrees and turn it into an Internet-era scheme on a global scale".[2] On August 31, 2012, Belford University was shut down and its founder, Salem Kureshi, "ordered to pay $22.7 million in damages".[3] "The judgment established the truth of allegations that Belford High School and Belford University are fake schools that do not actually exist."[4] Court documents from McClusley v. Belford University revealed that Belford University was run by 30-year-old Salem Kureshi from his apartment in Karachi, Pakistan.[5][6] The court found that Kureshi "operates a sophisticated internet ripoff scheme through various websites, which falsely represent the existence of an accredited and legitimate high school, whose diplomas will be widely accepted by employers, professional associations, other schools, colleges and universities".[5] Kureshi has created 44 online universities and more than 100 promotional websites. "With an inkjet printer, a Microsoft Word template, and a few cheap websites, Kureshi became an overnight millionaire."[7] He earns over $70 million per year "selling fake diplomas".[7] He is currently involved in a class action lawsuit over his involvement with Rochville University.[3] Although a U.S.
