You Get What You Pay For... If You're Lucky.
The Chronicle posts a story about a University in Mexico that "has no entrance exam, is free to all, has no grades, and attendence is optional".
Doesn't this sound like a diploma mill to you? It certainly does to me! I can tell you this, if somebody with a BSME from the Autonomous University of Mexico City (UACM) shows up in my office looking for a job, the best he or she can hope for is if I hand them a broom and point them to the shop floor. What good is a diploma that you get out of a cracker jack box anyway?
