I think it is a very important point that her supposed degree isn't accredited. It is a very important point to be made in this article. We can't have people running around saying they have "such and such" degrees when that degree isn't recognized by anyone in the academic community or any of the nationally recogized accreditation boards.
There are two options here as I see them. 1. Leave my edit in stating that the degree is from an unaccredited institution and not recognized. If you want to reword it a bit that is fine but it needs to mention that she doesn't really have a PH.D. 2. Just remove everything in refrence to her supposed education and time spent at the San Fran sex school or whatever it is called.
People can't just go around saying they have a PH.D. When they really don't.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 70.246.55.236 (talk • contribs) 02:47, September 2, 2006 (UTC)
- If you read the history on the website, it states that they are certified by the state of California to give graduate degrees. If you have proof that the school is lying about its status, then cite it. Otherwise, don't include that in the article as it is POV and original research. --Coredesat talk. ^_^ 07:51, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
The San Fran Sex School is "Accredited" by the California Bureau for Private Postsecondary and Vocational Education. Now if you search for that on wikipedia it will tell you that..
"CBPPVE approval or exemption is required by the state of California to ensure consumer safety from fraudulent degrees. Despite this it is not a recognized accreditor nor does its approval serve as a substitute for School accreditation."

- Well, you're right about that part. However, in an attempt to verify it, Google and the search engines gave me contradictory results regarding the school's accreditation status. The detail about the school being unaccredited should be left out. Besides, that is an issue for an article on the school. This is not an article on the school, but about someone who happens to have a "degree" from the school. It is worthy of mention, whether the school is accredited or not. A compromise would be to remove the sentence about her qualifications as a result of the degree. The sentence as it currently is looks like an attack. --Coredesat talk. ^_^ 08:15, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
