.edu-Domain sagt nichts über die Anerkennung oder Legalität einer Hochschule aus

Wir wissen, dass viele Menschen glauben, eine Hochschule sei anerkannt, wenn sie eine .edu-Domain verwendet. Das stimmt aber nicht - die .edu-Endung besagt nicht einmal, dass eine Hochschulzulassung (university license) besteht. Es war vorgesehen, dass die .edu-tld nur an anerkannte Hochschulen vergeben wird, aber es war/ist auch Briefkastenuniversitäten ermöglicht worden.

Hier ist eine Liste mit nicht anerkannten Hochschulen, die eine .edu-Domain verwenden:
