Experiences at harrington university

Too funny. So much misinformation about Harrington University.
Seems Harrington might have had a legit start - then, a married couple in the US decided to do a diploma mill scam, and there went any chance for the legit holders of degrees from Harrington to have any credibility. How do I know this? I experienced Harrington in the early days, when there were tests, papers to write, transcripts from previous institutions etc. etc.
Here's what WIKI says:
The Chronicle of Higher Education reported that the University Degree Program recruited "students" over the telephone from call centers in Romania (where the call center also sold fake international driver's licenses) and Israel. Telephone salespeople, who were paid on commission and received performance-based bonuses, could offer degrees in any field requested. The Abrahams created websites for a diverse variety of bogus institutions whose names were printed on diplomas. Customers were not told which of these "universities" would issue their degree. According to the Chronicle, UDP sent a letter to customers stating: "The policy of not disclosing the name of the University protects you against unscrupulous individuals who do not approve of self study and life style improvement." The letter also said that this was done to avoid "bad publicity".[1]

The operation was estimated to have sold more than 30,000 "degrees" and received proceeds totaling $50 million to $100 million or more.[1]

Two victims of the UDP fraud interviewed on BBC News reported that between 1996 and 2002 institutions of the non-accredited University Degree Program claimed to be subsidiaries of reputable universities such as the Glasgow Caledonian University or the City University of London and ran an actual distant-learning program online or by mail.[citation needed] The correspondence addresses of the bogus institutions were in the immediate vicinity of these universities in order to create a genuine background along with the websites. Study material was prepared in accordance with the syllabus on the website and was regularly sent to the students, who previously had agreed to pay a yearly tuition fee. According to BBC News significant efforts were made to let these institutions blend into the genuine universities with distant-learning programs. These efforts also included personal contact between student and teacher by email or phone.[citation needed] In late 2002 the Abrahams commercialized the operation and began to merely sell their bogus diplomas by using agents.[citation needed]

Early in 2003 the United States Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and British government authorities took action against UDP and related businesses, including the illegal sale of fake international driver's licenses. The FTC filed a preliminary injunction in January, 2003 and amended complaints in February and May, 2003.[2] In May the FTC and Israeli government authorities shut down the call center operation in the Mea Shearim section of Jerusalem.[1] The FTC complaint cited "deceptive acts or practices in or affecting commerce". The Abrahams "turned over $100,000 in profits" and promised to stop selling degrees. [1]

In 2004, however, the Chronicle reported that email advertising "remarkably similar" to UDP's and phone solicitations using a "nearly identical" script had continued after that agreement, leading observers to think that the UDP or the Abrahams were still operating diploma mills.[1] The Oregon State Office of Degree Authorization observed that some websites that appeared to be University Degree Program "products (or clones)" remained in operation.[2]...

In the "Reagan" cold war era of the 80s, Harrington University London, UK. (And others) where fronts used by the CIA and other agencies to give accredited degrees to field agents so that they could work in jobs at companies or within foreign governments carrying out spy operation? These diploma where backed by intense study and training so that agents where as qualified as any one in there field. To day hundreds if not thousands of people are still working at jobs based on these diplomas. As time goes by more and more information comes out and covers are blown and careers ended over the government's deceptions and failures over the years in this area. This is nothing less than the governments neglect and betrayal.
Today Harrington University has fallen into the hands of others and has been turned into a "Diploma Mill" for the general public. I hope more of the men and women that are being exposed by the currant disclosers come forward to tell there stores....
