Unaccredited, non-notable degree mill, no non-trivial coverage, google and gnews turn up nothing. 2 says you, says two 12:26, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

 * Comment. Google Books search turns up a discussion of this school as an "accreditation mill" in a 2007 study from the American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers.  It pops up on some similar lists found via Google, e.g. The school appears to be based in Pakistan and does show up on a list from the Pakistani consulate, but this doesn't seem to be anything more than a bare list. I do not find more extensive coverage of the sort we have seen with some other diploma mills.  Also, to avoid confusion, please note that "The University of Northwest" was apparently a 19th-century predecessor of the school in Sioux City, Iowa now known as Morningside College.
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Keep - it is our practice to have pages on all degree-awarding institutions where verifiable information can be found. We keep such degree mill pages because it provides objective information on their non-accredited status. This page is likely to be consulted by both those considering obtaining a degree and by employers seeking information on the status of the institution.  TerriersFan (talk) 17:28, 26 June 2010 (UTC)
