Could someone who subscribes to the Chronicle of Higher Education quote a couple of passages from this article on Internet diploma mills?


http://chronicle.com/prm/weekly/v50/i42/42a00901.htm


What amazed me, in a couple of quotations I saw on a friend's blog, was the utterly blase' attitude that some of the administrators were taking toward faculty and administrators with phony Ph D's.

here's one quote:  "That the people who hold these degrees make excuses doesn't surprise me," says David Linkletter, a program specialist with the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board. "That institutions defend them does."

Here's another good one:


 "Just the ability to put Ph.D. behind my name is what I was looking for," says Wayne J. del Corral, who teaches finance part time at Tulane University. "It'll make things a lot easier with respect to submitting papers to journals and so forth."

He also appreciates that his diploma from Lacrosse University looks so real. "The seal is very nice," he says.

The wise dark bishop who understands this better than anyone?


The runaway horse who will soon acquire the currently missing credentials?

Chess, down here we play Checkers, not Chess. The National Checkers Hall of Fame is even located somewhere nearby.  Please speak in language we non-intellecutals understand.

Not part of the four who originally had (still have) to fall but currently the most influential advisors to the king...


Must keep up with the hints Bubba, no time to backtrack...


We're busy cutting down scrub brush while they're planting kudzu....

Now you're speaking language that Bubba understands, Chess. Thanks.
