Degrees-R-Us
Degrees-R-Us is an unaccredited institution that offers degrees of higher learning. USA Today reported it is a diploma mill. In 2004, it was included in a Senate investigation.
The operation was run by a disbarred attorney from his Las Vegas home and "a GAO investigator ordered those bogus degrees in the name of Sen. Susan [Collins (politician)|Susan Collins] of Maine, who had commissioned the agency to investigate the ease of purchasing such degrees."
