We know very little actual facts..only that the press said it was from a diploma mill. This could or could not be factual.

not sure if that link will work or not.
http://www.rgs.uci.edu/rig/school_codes/florida.htm
and that link will show an assigned school code for none other then fort lauderdale college. not sure if its really apart of fmu or not, or really still functioning or not, but this certainly makes me think its still out there"

No, I really checked. Ft Lauderdale college was assumed by Florida Metropolitan University. Look at your first link...
I think the first anon did what you did, saw a link but then he laughably tried to use it as a weapon of diversion and humiliation without checkng it out. For instance, Ft. Lauderdale College has a dead phone number and a dead link, and no listing with the state, but FMU does. FMU has taken over Ft Lauderdale college almost 10 years ago.
Those links aren't accurate I am afraid.
The questions remain however...
was Ft Lauderdale College the place that awarded Art his honorary doctorate? It seems one anon poster seems to think so, in spite of the "art institute" nonsense which apparently was not or never affiliated with Ft. Lauderdale College.
What were the circumstances surrounding it? (supposedly a seed parent arranged it according to one anon post).
If it was Ft lauderdale college, were they accredited to award Doctorate degrees? Accredited to award Any degrees at all in 1972?
If there was a ceremony, who attended? was anyone here there?
If it was, was Ft lauderdale college a diploma mill in 1972 or an accredited institution?
If it wasn't Ft Lauderdale college, who was it?
Does anyone have the correct answers?
Still waiting...

The name was Fort Lauderdale University. I am sure that is the exact name that read on the diploma hanging in his office. The honorary doctorate degree I beleive was in "social sciences" or "human sciences."
GregFL:
See how this gets convoluted?
Maybe it was "Ft. Lauderdale University", an entirely seperate entity than all these others being bantered around.
there is no record of a "Ft Lauderdale University" Anywhere that I can find. That doesn't mean there wasn't an entity issuing diplomas with that name...
Do you know anything else about this?

It should have at least been licensed with the state of Florida to have its doors open for business. Whether or not it was accredited at the time is another story since it has to be regionally accredited by Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (or SACS) for it to be considered an accredited U.S. school. Respected accreditation can be a relative term, however, since some people knowingly pay for a degree and feel they have the right to its title, especially if said person does in fact already possess the knowledge to practice that someone else with an accredited degree possesses. Of course, there are several fields that would not accept an unaccredited degree for hiring purposes. To conclude, the fact that the school is licensed to award degrees is not synonymous to regional accreditation.
