University of Beverly Hills

University of Beverly Hills

The University of Beverly Hills is a now defunct, unaccredited school which lacked a campus or laboratory facilities.Lowell AJ, [http://www.quackwatch.org/04ConsumerEducation/NegativeBR/vbible.html An irreverent look at the Vitamin Bible and its author (Earl Mindell)] , Quackwatch (retrieved 25 November 2007)]

In his 1992 book, "The News Shapers: The Sources Who Explain the News", Lawrence C. Soley listed Andy Lightbody, a broadcast news analyst on the Gulf War and other military topics, as an example of a news media "expert" who had exaggerated or manufactured his qualifications. According to Soley, Lightbody had falsely claimed to have served in the Air Force and had claimed a degree from Tulane University, when his only degree was from the University of Beverly Hills, which Soley called a "defunct, never accredited institution." [Lawrence C. Soley, "The News Shapers: The Sources Who Explain the News", Praeger/Greenwood, 1992. ISBN 0275940330]

Earl Mindell, author of the "Vitamin Bible", claims a Ph.D. degree from this institution.

In 2006, the auditor/controller and treasurer/tax collector of Tulare County, California, Rita Woodard, was sued by a CPA who alleged that Woodard was legally ineligible to hold her elected position because she did not have a degree in accounting from an accredited school. Woodard said she had a degree from the University of Beverly Hills.George Lurie, [http://www.valleyvoicenewspaper.com/vvarc/2006/august162006.htm Woodard Awaits Judge's Decision] , Valley Voice newspaper, August 16, 2006] A judge ruled in October 2006 that Woodard could hold office because the California State Legislature had not set specific requirements to hold office when it created the combined positions of auditor/controller and treasurer/tax collector. The ruling was upheld on appeal in 2007.Date Set in the matter of Fatica et al vs. Woodard, "Fresno Bee", July 11, 2007] [http://www.valleyvoicenewspaper.com/vvarc/2007/oct172007.htm Valley Voice newspaper] , October 2007] [ [http://www.visaliatimesdelta.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20071016/NEWS01/710160332 Visalia Times-Delta newspaper] , October 2007]
