Shelbourne University

Lorain inspector says master's degree on resume came from correspondence course

 

"Shelbourne University" is one of the names used by the Romanian mill. In Jan. 2001, Dr Bear (who's been keeping close track) called Shelbourne University "the 6th new name" of the mill:

He calls it "its 6th school name" here as well:

If it was "new" in 2001, William Desvari could not have got his diploma in 1979, although the Romanian mill does offer to back-date diplomas. So, is Dr Bear mistaken, or is Desvari lying?

Here's an editorial supporting Desvari:

With many of the diploma mills, you can select your graduation date. For example, at Belford University, you can pay $75 extra to backdate your graduation to any date you want.

 

I already said "the Romanian mill does offer to back-date diplomas." Here's how their telemarketing script goes:

But Desvari is not admitting to the back-dating. He claims to have obtained the diploma at age 27, which leads me to suspect that he hasn't come clean.

 

Here's an Associate Professor who lists "additional studies Shelbourne University" among her credentials:

I wonder how she managed not to get a "degree" from them. Her last name also seems to ring a bell.

 

In my browser it looks like

• Chesapeake College additional studies

followed by

• Shelbourne University

on a separate line.

 

You (and your browser) are right. Here's the HTML source:

I had assumed the "Double BS" meant one BS from Wesley and one from Chesapeake, but I guess not.

 

An unaccredited correspondence school - now that is a compliment!

Cheers,

George
