This EPA official obviously went to a public school. But where did he go to college? Let’s have names here!
Dr. Armendariz received his doctorate in Environmental Engineering from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill’s School of Public Health where he was also selected as a Royster Society Fellow. He holds an M.E. in Environmental Engineering from the University of Florida. Al is a chemical engineer by training, with an undergraduate degree from MIT.
Before joining the EPA he was a professor of Environmental & Civil Engineering at SMU.
In other words, a know-nothing egghead from the bowels of academe from the very git-go.
