Preston University, a widely recognized name in the field of
education, has faced a number of allegations of frauds and scams. The
university has been a target of these accusations since the year 2008. Like all
renowned institutions, its competitors have targeted the university with claims
of frauds such as calling it a degree mill. These competitors have made use of
the fact that the university has gained no accreditation from any US education
bodies and therefore, its degrees are not recognized by some corporations and
countries. Preston University has been charged with these fraud claims for its
inability of gaining accreditation and as a result, the stakeholders of the
university have faced strong opposition in the job market as well.
Preston University fraud was launched against the university
over cyber space and it was done to underrate a prestigious institution. Many
websites started processing irrelevant information to start off this propaganda
against the university. These websites posted false data regarding the
university stating that the main reason for moving operations to Alabama was to
benefit from the relaxed regulations in the state. Furthermore, they also
accused the University of providing fake degrees to professionals in order to
raise revenue. However, the chancellor of the university has refused such
claims and the university has never denied the fact that it has not received
accreditations from the US department of education. The university has also
stated that its degree may not be accepted by some organizations because it
does not have any accreditations. However, many governments, both local and state
have accepted degrees awarded by Preston University. The university has stated
that it has an authority to issue degrees as authorized by the state of
Alabama. Furthermore, the university has also stated that the university
campuses are continuously inspected by evaluators of the state and therefore,
the claims of fraud are irrelevant and false.
Initially, these claims of fraud over cyber space were
accepted by the people and this highly affected the reputation of Preston
University. However, an increase in such websites was met with suspicion from
the masses regarding the relevance of these and therefore, it was revealed that
this was done as a propaganda against Preston University. Preston University
has taken several steps to refute all such claims of fraud made against it. The
association of the university has been helped by hundreds of students from all
over the world who have tried to make everyone aware of the good quality of
education provided by the institution.
