qualified but “uncredentialed?”

He should be fired for having the name “Bart”.
Is an Ed.D. even worth being called Dr.?
Uh, so? I distinctly remember Democrats during the Clinton impeachment hearings having the words “Constitutional Scholar” appear under their images. Cinthia Mckinney? I wanted to put that phrase on a tree stump in my yard.
If Bart is a Democrat, it’s okay, right?
Having been in an EdD program at a respected university for a short time, I left in disgust because of its shallowness and lack of real scholarship compared to a true PhD program.
Contrast that with the Low Brass professor at the university I graduated from... He had been working on his Doctoral degree for quite some time. When he submitted his dissertation, we started calling him “Doctor” - and he chastised us for it - saying that he didn’t earn it until it was finalized. He proudly wore the title after he was awarded the degree.
I know a fellow who has been a PhD candidate for 14 years (all but dissertation) who puts his unearned PhD on his resume, although I think he may qualify it by putting “May 2009” after it and changing the expected date every so often. The last time I saw his resume, I think it said “May 2004.” At this point, I doubt very much that he will ever get the degree, and it’s not helping him that his staunchest supporters in his department are dying off, and the newer people don’t know him from Adam.
I’ve been told that this is the way they do resumes in academia. I would throw such a resume straight into the trash if he applied for a job with me.
his only mistake was he didn’t get one of the phony advance degrees that WVU has been handing out.
Small people need to inflate themselves in order to feel good about themselves.
