This is the first I've ever heard of this. Could you provide a bit more information? ** curious **
By 'degree farms' do you mean shady universities, or businesses that sell you a forged diploma made to look like something from a reputable university? |

It was my mistake about his university. The one he had on his diploma was legitimate, only it sounds as if a company made a fake and said he graduated from that place, when in fact he did not.
Actually, according to EFL-Law, the immigration department is making a list of degree mill online websites that sound like a university, but actually are not. Degree mills are places that may or may not have a business name, but are selling you a piece of paper saying that you graduated from there.
For example, Lambert University is one I can think of. That one is known the world over as a degree mill. |

| Your co-worker wasn't the only one. Apparently, there was a crackdown on fake degrees last night, and a lot of arrests were made at homes and hagwons. I didn't know about this until just a few minutes ago when a friend sent me a text message about the whole thing. |
