It compares current laissez-faire attitudes to more proactive oversight by state bodies. An examination of European models is used to support the argument for stricter regulation within the United States. The author argues that the prestige of American degrees would improve if a uniform standard for awarding them were nationally implemented to reduce the current variability which has allowed diploma mills and degree-selling institutions to flourish. The work exposes the shortcomings of a system which equates state control with state responsibility for awarding degrees, explaining why this is a false equivalency. Among the main themes of the book is the assertion that state supervision is compatible with the protection of academic freedoms and diversity of standards provided it is implemented fairly and without bias or special interests. The author concludes by proposing that regulation would encourage healthy competition between medical schools, reduce the risks to both students and the public and foster greater trust in the integrity of medical degrees.
