Don't misrepresent where you went to school.

How do you feel about NOT listing or mentioning a particular degree on a job application or resume? For people with multiple degrees, I can see not listing degrees from lesser ranked schools. Or a person changing careers not listing degrees from a previous field. Maybe someone in youthful ignorance obtained a nationally accredited degree before obtaining a regionally accredited degree and chooses to omit the nationally accredited degree. I'm not talking about keeping things off of transcripts. If inflating education is wrong, is deflating education wrong?

No problem leaving things off.  I even leave jobs off if I'm tailoring my resume to a specific job.  There are now too many to list, and some are not relevant.  Nobody cares that I worked at the school sandwich shop in college.  Or the shoe store.  Or the job I quit after 2 weeks because I refused to work for a chauvinist pig.  Etc.

I don't list my Certificate in Management, or my BOG AAS, and never will.  My BSBA is quite enough.  I do list important certifications I have, especially if they pertain to the job I'm going for.  An IT person might have more of these than any kind of formal education on their resume.
