As I mentioned in my 24.1.11 post where can i buy an accredited overseas phd?, a request by the CSU owner, Zahid Yazdanie, to register California South University as a federal trademark was denied for obvious reasons.  The most obvious is that it is in violation of section 89005.5 of the California Education Code, which

provides that the name of the California State University belongs to the institution and cannot be appropriated by others:  The name “California State University” is the property of the state. No person shall, without the permission of the Trustees of the California State University, use this name, or any abbreviation of it . . . .  Notwithstanding this statute, the CSU name has from time to time been used without proper authority, creating confusion and the potential for complicated legal battles. Moreover, there are certain other institutional identities, which also have considerable value and help identify the CSU to the public — e.g., campus names, nicknames, mascots, internet domain names — which are not necessarily protected under the statute.

An E-mail from Arthur Miller (no, not THAT Arthur Miller)

One of my contacts received an e-mail from “Arthur Miller” (see below – yes, I’m not kidding; no, you can’t make this stuff up) , president of CSU, whose address (14731 Comet St Irvine CA 92604) is identical to that of a certain Zahid Yazdanie of Punjab, Pakistan and Irvine, CA.  The “president’s residence” is a 2326 square ft.6 bedroom, 4 bath single family house in Orange Country built in 1970.  It last sold for $819,000 in January 2007.  Not too shabby for the president of a diploma mill who believes in diversifying his businesses.  (This address is also the “headquarters” of the California Honey Products Company, among other businesses.)

Credential Certification (The Fat Lady Hasn’t Sung Yet)

The “outside company,” American Apostille is very much an “inside company” owned by (you guessed it) Zahid Yazdanie.  (The domain name is registered under that name with “President Miller’s” address:  14731 COMET ST, IRVINE. CA 92604 US.)  In addition, to make it even easier for those with an interest in such matters to put 2 & 2 together, the contact address for American Apostille is (yes, right again!) 14731 Comet St., Irvine, CA.   No doubt putting one of the 6 bedrooms to good use.

My question(s) to the California Postsecondary Education Commission, General Counsel, California State University, California Tax Service Center, Internal Revenue Service – are you listening?  Will you do anything about it?  When?
