The University of Beverly Hills is a now-defunct, unaccredited school which lacked a campus or laboratory facilities.In his 1992 book, The News Shapers: The Sources Who Explain the News, Lawrence C. Soley listed Andy Lightbody, a broadcast news analyst on the Gulf War and other military topics, as an example of a news media "expert" who had exaggerated or manufactured his qualifications. According to Soley, Lightbody had falsely claimed to have served in the Air Force and had claimed a degree from Tulane University, when his only degree was from the University of Beverly Hills, which Soley called a "defunct, never accredited institution."
