Pay-As-You-Go System

Pay-As-You-Go System

"The Californian State Legislature is drafting a Bill to curb the activities of more than 50 establishments which issue academic degrees on a pay-as-you-go system. In one case it was found that a "college" established for the sole purpose of making money in this manner had received replies from all parts of the world, to advertisements offering bachelor of arts degrees at a flat rate of £3/7/10. One man told an investigating committee that he had paid £357 for a Ph.D. from a so-called 'Golden State University'. When it arrived in the post he found he had been sent a B.Sc. for good measure."
