美国没有联邦法律禁止野鸡大学,所以正规"大学"的定义并没有彻底地被法律保护. 家长们缴钱以前一定要再三确认,不要只听中介机构的一面之词. The United States does not have a federal law that would unambiguously prohibit diploma mills, and the term "university" is not legally protected on a national level. The United States Department of Education lacks direct plenary authority to regulate schools and, consequently, the quality of an institution's degree.
