After Louisiana cracked down on diploma mills , several distance-learning institutions moved to Mississippi, where they continue to churn out degrees. As institutions of higher learning go, the campus of Lacrosse University, a storefront at a suburban strip mall, is notably lacking in ivy-covered halls, stadiums and the other accouterments typical of academic life.... Lacrosse, however, does not have the imprimatur of any accrediting agency recognized by the state Department of Education, and Cyprien was sacked.
