Just think, most of these folks with so-called advanced degrees probably voted for John Kerry. Betcha they did.
So, this is what happens, in the great socialist northwest, when voters "invest" in education?
Gee, what a deal for the students. What a deal for the taxpayers.
Mama mia, atsa biga mess.

We had something like this happen in my area. One teacher was removed after it was learned she had a degree from the University of Liberia, or one of those West African nations. Another teacher was terminated when it was learned he was granted a degree from an unaccredited internet college site.

here the Evergreen Freedom Foundation looked into this. Did KIRO leverage off of EFF's work?

Watching the news story last night, it looks like EFF worked with KIRO 7 on the story. The EFF researcher (Sarah Carrico) was featured in the broadcast.

And let me add that people who claim degrees from real institutions are easy to verify. Bear that in mind next time you're hiring someone.
Call the Registrar's Office of the school in question. Ask them to verify whether the person has a degree. They won't share anything private-grades, etc- but they'll verify degree and year awarded. They have as much interest in ferreting out people claiming fraudulent degrees from them as you do.

No you are ok. Your degree is just as valid and impressive as my Doctorate from Wassamatta U. My thesis was " A Multivariant Analysis of the Probability of Boris and Natasha Taking Over the World."
It should be published soon.

Hiring process? But then again, why bother? It's only tax payer money. There's plenty more where that came from. Just another example of mid-level gov't employees making room at the sow for other suckers.

We need to fire the crooks, but I guess public officials (like Sandy Berger) are all above the law now, so long as they don't tread on the turf of the criminals above them.
