Re: uhm...1956? 1960's? said by krobar:I wonder if at one time there really WAS a Trinity Southern University? That WOULD be a good angle to a scam, use the name of a defunct educational institution. One detail I recall is that when colleges and universities close completely, their records are supposed to be taken over by another institution or a state agency, so that it should be possible to verify eductional credentials, and rule out bogus ones. However, there may be instances - and maybe poorly run states like Texas - where that doesn't happen.
Defunct colleges and universities usually have an alumni website somewhere. I couldn't easily find one under the exact name, but there are so many close names it is possible that one could be buried deeper in the search listings. |

OK, let's just say, um, that Texas is known for a minimum of administrative and regulatory overhead, however you want to categorize it. Having had a bit of experience with this, I can tell you that Texas has more that it's share of diploma mills for some reason, and the Texas educational authorities are much less organized and helpful than in many other states in locating records for legimitate defunct institutions. |
