Did you read about that basketball coach at Louisiana-Lafayette who got fired -- just two months after being hired -- for resume embellishment? He reportedly listed a degree from Lacrosse University, which was unbelievably dumb. I mean, who's gonna believe he went to Princeton?

Lacrosse University (motto: "Innovation in Education") is an online school "accredited" by the World Association of Universities and Colleges, whatever the heck that is. Its mission, according to its Web site, is to "fulfill the educational needs of professional and working adults who wish to expand their formal education within their field of expertise. In addition to recognizing prior learning, we offer a fresh and unique approach to traditional subject matter. By maintaining flexible schedules, we can facilitate the educational process to fit the needs of all our students.
"There are no 'on campus' requirements, and course work is completed entirely through correspondence. We have an open-enrollment policy, which allows students to enroll with Lacrosse at any time throughout the year. Our degree programs are designed for self-directed students."
Translation: Just send us the money, and we'll mail you the diploma.
