I believe such institutions are known collectively as "Walden", are they not? Over time, I've encountered one or two myself ... still, this is in danger of becoming political! WFL

I don't see this as political post. We would like to know which colleges these are so that students and job seekers can avoid them. If mathematicians don't police the integrity of their own profession, then some day the government will do it for them, as they are now doing over the issue of scientific misconduct and research fraud.
