Its time to consider hard working, smart, industrious Americans with excellent backgrounds who DO NOT have a degree. The degree has become devalued and used as a tool of discrimination.

I have hired people without degrees and some are incredibly talented workers.

I'm sick of liberal brainwashing about anyone not indoctrinated by lib education is 2nd class or uneducated. Screw them.

Deputy CIO at Homeland Security Department placed on leave

Laura Callahan, the deputy CIO of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), was placed on paid administrative leave last week after questions surfaced about her academic qualifications, a DHS spokeswoman confirmed

On her resume, Callahan, who was appointed to the position on April 1, said she received her academic degrees, including a doctorate in computer information systems, from Hamilton University in Evanston, Wyo.

However, the congressmen, including Rep. Carolyn Maloney (D-N.Y.), contend that according to published reports, Hamilton isn't licensed by that state, nor is the school accredited by the U.S. Department of Education. The congressmen said Hamilton is a "diploma mill."

"What is troubling to me is that a senior official in the Department of Homeland Security in the office of the CIO would have a questionable degree in computer information systems," Maloney said in a letter dated June 4 to Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge. "I would hope that checking credentials on a resume is a standard procedure in any background check."
