English term or phrase: diploma mill

Definition from Guide to Online Education:
Also called "degree mill." An organization lacking recognition by legitimate accrediting agencies which "awards" academic degrees and diplomas for a flat fee, usually requiring little or no academic study.

Example sentence(s):

Although many diploma mills claim to be “accredited,” their accreditation is from a bogus, but official-sounding agency that they created. Federal Trade Commission
The terms "unaccredited" and "diploma mill" are sometimes improperly treated as synonomous. In fact, there are a wide range of institutions representing themselves as colleges or universities that grant degrees but do not meet New Jersey standards. NJ Commission on Higher Education
These "schools" promise a fast and easy road to a degreed job but you can destroy your professional reputation for life by using a degree from a diploma mill, and that "fast and easy road" can lead straight to prison. Degree Finders

divlji fakultet (škola)

Definition from Panevropski univerzitet Apeiron:
Po zakonu, da bi fakultet započeo rad, mora da podnese molbu za dobijanje dozvole za rad. Molba se podnosi Ministarstvu obrazovanja, koje predaje elaborat fakulteta u osnivanju Komisiji za akreditaciju i provjeru kvaliteta.
Rješenjem Službe za inspekcijski nadzor Ministartva obrazovanja, nauke, kulture i sporta Srednjobosanskog kantona, pokrenut je provostupanjski postupak za zabranu rada određenog broja fakulteta na ovom području.
Prema riječima Franje Ljubasa, jednog od inspektora resornog ministarsva, svi fakulteti koji su osnovani na ovom području imaju rješenje za osnivanje, ali ne i rješenje za rad. On je pri tom negirao da na ovom području postoji 17 privatnih fakulteta koji rade na divlje.

Example sentence(s):

U Sarajevu, i u čitavoj BiH, bilo je slučajeva da pojedini privatni, "divlji" fakulteti rade bez dozvola državnih organa. - Info portal

Explanation:
Ovaj prijedlog mi je zvučao najprikladniji, jer mislim da sve takve škole ili fakulteti mogu stati u isti koš „nelegalnih fakulteta“ s „nevažećim diplomama“ i „studiranjem na divlje“.
