Last week the American Council on Education made an angry, 100-page attack on U.S. "diploma mills," which have run a carefree con game around the globe for more than a century. Trouble is that the mills are blossoming as never before. At least 200 crooked schools in 37 states, the council reported, are raking in $75 million from 750,000 victims a year. California alone may have 100 such schools. A top West German investigator of academic frauds used to get 2,000 complaints annually about U.S. diploma mills. Now he gets 6,000, and calls the mills...

...increase riles the American Jewish Congress, which offered solid evidence in its 57-page report that the segregated Negro and Puerto Rican children are as much as three years behind in their studies because of sagging morale and poorly qualified teachers. Equally discouraging is the ironic fact that New York is the only Northern city with a real blueprint for solving de facto segregation...
