Are you aware that there are still New Jersey School administrators who are still using titles from unaccredited doctoral programs in the State of New Jersey? Of particular concern is the following newly hired administrator (superintendent) at the Cumberland (County, NJ) Regional High School (CRHS) in southern New Jersey William J. Stonis. This information was readily available on the internet at the web address listed. Stonis formerly worked as a vice-principal in Burlington County New Jersey, but was hired by CRHS in the late spring/early summer of 2008. THIS SORT OF BETRAYAL OF EDUCATIONAL VALUES MUST BE EXPOSED FOR THE GOOD OF THE STUDENTS THESE DECEIVERS ALLEGEDLY SUPERVISE! It is also my understanding that the NJ State Department of Education has ordered NJ public school administrators to stop using titles from degrees received at unaccredited institutions after the Asbury Park Press expose of abuses by administrators in the Freehold Regional School District.

State Senator Jennifer Beck testified, “When my staff and I researched this issue and the legality of all of it, we quickly came to a shocking realization; while it is against the law in New Jersey to use the title ‘Doctor’ or any letters after your name which indicate you have received an advanced degree if you have received that title from an unaccredited institution, the law is silent on the issue of tuition reimbursement or the granting of additional compensation based on such a degree. So basically, you can’t call yourself ‘Doctor,’ but you can be paid like one.”

Breyer State University, also called Breyer State University-Alabama, is an unaccredited distance education, for profit, private university that used to have an office in Birmingham, Alabama.[1] It has been described by The New Republic magazine as a diploma mill that “claimed official-sounding accreditation to attract hundreds of people to obtain degrees”.[2] Breyer State University disputes this categorization.[3][4][5]
In June 2008 Breyer State’s license to operate in Alabama expired and was not renewed. The Alabama Department of Postsecondary Education reported that the school had moved to Idaho.[6]

Accreditation status

Breyer State is not accredited by any accreditation institution recognized by the United States Department of Education,[13][14] nor is it a state institution.[15] It is on the list of “Institutions Whose Degrees are Illegal to Use in Texas”.[16] It is also on the lists of unaccredited institutions maintained by Oregon,[15] Maine,[17] and Michigan.[18]

On its website, Breyer states instead that it is accredited by Central States Consortium of Colleges & Schools (CSCCS),1 a subsidiary organization of the American Institute of Health Care Professionals (AIHCP).[19] CSCCS lists Breyer president Dominick L. Flarey as Executive Director.[20] Formerly Breyer was licensed by the Department of Postsecondary Education of the State of Alabama.[21] According to the Alabama Department of Postsecondary Education website, a license permits institutions “to operate in the State of Alabama AND IS NOT ASSOCIATED WITH ACCREDITATION” (capitalization in original).[22] The license expired on March 30, 2008,[21] and was not renewed by the Alabama Department of Postsecondary Education.[22][23]

[edit] Controversy
In July 2008, the Asbury Park Press reported that the superintendent and two other administrators of the Freehold Regional High School District in central New Jersey had received tuition reimbursement for enrolling at Breyer State and had been given salary increases based on doctoral degrees issued by Breyer State University, described by the newspaper as “an unaccredited institution deemed an ‘apparent diploma mill’ by education officials in its home state of Alabama.” This was stated to be a violation of a New Jersey law against the professional use of titles and degrees earned from unaccredited institutions. The superintendent stated that he did not intend to seek an accredited doctoral degree, but he planned to continue using the title “Dr.”[24] [25] The superintendent had to be ordered to stop using the title “Dr.”. The Education Commissioner then sent letters to the districts reminding educators that use of unaccredited degrees was illegal.[26]
