- Donald 15y ago> Domain record activated: 10-May-1999 I believe this domain was registered before Educause adopted the accreditation requirement. See the grandfathering policy on http://net.educause.edu/edudomain/eligibility.asp http://net.educause.edu/edudomain/eligibility.asp .
- cyrus_ 15y agoAccording to the eligibility requirements [1], yes. However, this was not always the case and domains registered before 2001 were grandfathered in. According to the whois record for academia.edu [2], it was first registered in 1999.

- RichardPrice 15y ago.edu domain names registered prior to 2001 were grandfathered in and not made subject to the requirements of being a higher educational institution. This is the case with www.academia.edu.
