The report depicts Dickinson State as a diploma mill for foreign students, most of whom were Chinese. Of 410 foreign students who have received four-year degrees since 2003 — most of them in the past four years — 400 did not fulfill all the requirements, it said.

This is the first I have heard of this at all. It seems like there must have been a reason for the audit to have been performed, I wonder who first inquired.

That is not even all the story. Apparently a Dean shot himself yesterday too. Related to the diploma mill scandal not sure.. Making national headlines as the University that gives away diplomas to chinese and russian students. Not good not good at all. The people involved in this should be ashamed of themselves. Its quite possible this could be a death blow to this university. Especially if they start getting sanctions from the DOE and HLC their accreditation etc.. Embarrassing .

Didn't they just remove the president or top dog ?

Turn it into a West Trade school

They did but his name was not mentioned in the report. It does however say that this started happening in the Summer of 2008 and the former president was hired in April of 2008.

Here is a link to the Dean who shot himself yesterday.

They are pushing online education, many bachelor's degree options. This may affect many folks not even in North Dakota.
