I always knew cats weren't as smart as they acted.

Quick Google search:

Guy from University of San Francisco lists PhD from TSU: http://urology.ucsf.edu/faculty/facDahiya_bio.html

Here's a minister: http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Delphi/6712/personal.html

With a little more work, might we turn up someone interesting?

I guess they gave credit for "life experience".....

Nine lives equals a whole lot of experience...

But what about the New York Times giving weasels jobs as editorial columnists? All of this concern about feline perks...what about weasine perks?

As an offended hedgehog, I am moving to Canada.

Maybe the cat aced the GMAT and got in fair and square. Ever think of that?

I know someone with a PhD from there. She's under federal investigation for wire and advanced fee fraud. My attorney & I get to go to an all-expense paid trip to Virginia to testify against her. It will be a sweet day, indeed.

You know, the saddest thing about this story is that, given all the left-wing kook professors out there, the cat is probably smarter for having gotten the degree there rather than attending classes.

The Pennsylvania attorney general's office Monday sued an online university for allegedly selling bogus academic degrees — including an MBA awarded to a cat.

Well, I would hope that the AG's office at least investigated this and can prove that the cat didn't earn the MBA! I know that if I put in all that time and effort, only to see the state step in and take it away from me, I'd be pretty upset! Owl, do you have any insight on this one, seeing as how you're from Penn.?

Aw, c'mon guys! Trinity Southern University is fully accredited by the National Asociation for Prior Learning Assessment Colleges:

"Founded in 1994, the National Association for Prior Learning Assessment Colleges is a professional accrediting association established to uphold and maintain high standards for all levels of online post-secondary education.

"Prior learning assessments are thought by some to be significantly changing higher education, it is not a new phenomenon. Its predecessors are the correspondence courses that have spanned this century, providing education for those learners who could not pursue a traditional education. Yesterday's correspondence courses depended on written materials transmitted between teacher and learner by mail; today's education courses depend on the multitude of constantly changing communication technologies that can transmit instruction and relay materials between learner and teacher.

"These technologies have taken shape at a very rapid pace, erasing traditional barriers of time, space and place and represent the capacity to fundamentally change the standard for transmitting knowledge and skills from master to learner. For reasons of access, economy, effectiveness and convenience, online learning is sweeping higher education and, in the view of some, changing the role of traditional learning to a marketplace that some institutions would prefer not to enter. Whether one is for or against prior learning assessments, one cannot escape its impact."

Sasha just got the message that some of her community college courses are not UC transferrable. And she is not amused.

The school, which offers no classes, allegedly determined Colby Nolan's resume entitled him to a master of business administration degree; a transcript listed the cat's course work and 3.5 grade-point average.

Anyone who doubts my MBA will be summarily dismissed!

A tipoff about the legitimacy of this place.

The website shows that it is a "dot.org" and not an "edu".
