Some people want to get a fake diploma for reasons of self-motivation and others will get them to get their children up and running. In the modern-day family setting, it is such that the father tries to do much better than his father did and the son tries to do better than his father and grandfather. Such is the story of Kendrick, who started savoring his first success in business when he hawked bar soap from one door to another in a small country town.

When Kendrick dropped out of high school to go into business, he never considered that he would one day need a college diploma to back his claim for success and wealth, and that is how he became a fraud. 30 years back when he was young, the need for education was not as great as it is now and therefore, he did not want his two children to think that education was not important because if their father, their first role model, was already so successful without education, then they too would think that they would make it without completing their education.

Maxine Klein Asher established ‘American World University’, generally considered to be a diploma mill. She founded the organization in 1990 as a distance learning institution for post-secondary education. Her so-called ‘school’ did not require fluency in English and was awarding credits for students’ life experience as well.

American World University’s student body, estimated at some 7,000 at the time, consisted of over 90 percent foreign students, and tuition fees were varying by country. Most international students were recruited through local administrators who were advertising regionally while getting some 50 percent of the revenue they brought in as a reward for their efforts.

WAUC stands for World Association of Universities and Colleges. This scam organization was founded by Maxine Klein Asher in 1993 to make sure that her American World University (a diploma mill that could not get any sort of official accreditation) would get accredited anyway. .

WAUC does NOT hold any sort of recognition by the United States Department of Education, but continues to grant its fake accreditation to a number of (practically all) scam schools, such as Lacrosse University, Columbus University, and Berkeley International University (see below) that are seen as diploma mills by government regulators.

The following schools are listed on the new WAUC website as accredited by the organization:

In April 2016, the U.S. authorities have arrested 21 individuals that were involved in a fake university student visa scam. The ‘University of Northern New Jersey’ was specifically established to expose student visa scams and 21 suspects were arrested by American immigration authorities.

The “university” came with a Facebook page, its own website, a classic seal with the Latin words ‘Humanus, Scientia, Integritas’, a like-real menu of business degrees, and offered ‘an exceptional education experience’. The ‘university’ address was in Cranford, New Jersey, and was established in 2012.

The detainees are suspected of committing visa fraud and some other offenses after their illegal activities were discovered, but the authorities needed to go at great lengths as they had set up the University of Northern New Jersey, a fake education institution that was established by the U.S. Department of homeland security.
