Here is a list of universities that have closed down since 2020 due to financial problems. How could someone get caught if they claimed to have graduated from one of these universities? There is no department there to call and confirm that they have or have not graduated from there. Is there a way for a prospective employer to find out?

We’ve been waiting for the city’s attorney to weigh in and the client showed up in-person to demand we take action.
