reportedly has affiliated selling diplomas in India. The legal
complaint is also enclosed for your reference
The State of Hawaii has sued "Kensignton University, Inc" (KU),

they took effect in 1999. Specifically, it alleges that KU failed
to disclose that it is not accredited, failed to maintain an
office in Hawaii, misrepresented the fact that it is not licensed,
failed to have 25 students enrolled, and illegally accepted
tuition payments. The State seeks injunctive relief, civil penalties,
actual damages, plus interest, and attorneys' fees for plaintiff
worldwide.
