If Issuing Hundreds Of Phony Degrees Doesn’t Lose You Accreditation, What Good Is Accreditation?

Dickinson State University got caught issuing hundreds of phony degrees to foreign students, something for which nobody outside of former President Richard McCallum has been held accountable. McCallum, who I guess we’re supposed to believe pulled of this fraud by himself, was merely fired.

Horwarth’s article quoted a newspaper editor in West Virginia who covered the HLC’s decision to remove accreditation from Mountain State University. “If I’m Dickinson State, I would be nervous,” he told Horwarth.

That article prompted angry denunciations from DSU officials and North Dakota University System Chancellor Larry Skogen who called the idea of lost accreditation “impossible.”

...

Dickinson State acted in about the least ethical way a university can, besmirching the reputation of the diplomas it exists to grant, and they get to keep accreditation?

It seems North Dakota’s higher education officials would rather the DSU scandal go away as quickly as possible. But the public deserves better than that.

Well, Indiana DemonicRats forged the petition form to get Homobama and Hillary on the primary ballot in 2008, and they are still in office.

Must be why "Barry" has his transcripts sealed.

I hope this doesn’t effect my PHD from there.

I am schedule to give a lecture at Harvard on the Constitution. It used to be Obama’s part time job.

I personally know one Arab who received a PhD in Petroleum Science (not Petroleum Engineering but Petroleum Science) from an uncredited university in CA.

He asked me to read his “Dissertation” and I immidiately recognized verbatum passages from magazines like Oil and Gas Journal, chemical engineering magazines and textbooks.

He travelled to CA to receive his degree and returned to the ME showing off his “degree” and a photograph of him in cap and gown. Needless to say that he became a highly respected government “advisor”.

If my Governor and his donors (some of whom are in the online education business) get their way, they will be turning Texas universities into online diploma mills.

You'll see a lot more "highly respected government advisers" in the Middle East then. Oh, and Washington, D.C. as well.

The printing of bogus diplomas is like the printing of money. Both of which zer0 and his regime excel at.
