Rural professors seek ouster of faculty senate president-elect, Tom Moran, Fairbanks, Alaska Daily News-Miner, August 26, 2004.

Two rural University of Alaska Fairbanks professors have called for the resignation or removal of the president-elect of the UAF Faculty Senate because he received his doctorate from a Caribbean university they termed a "diploma mill."

Susan Andrews and John Creed, professors at the UAF Chukchi campus in Kotzebue, sent out an open letter last week arguing that Michael Hannigan, an associate professor of social work at the Northwest campus in Nome, should resign both his senate presidency and membership because of the origin of his degree.

Hannigan received his doctorate from International University for Graduate Studies, a school that is apparently only accredited in its home nation of St. Kitts & Nevis.

"I guess it comes down to the principle of the thing," Andrews said. "If we're going to ask our students to work hard and put in the many hours and do the hard, hard work, then how can we condone these so-called degrees from diploma mills?"
