Another Time Bomb

Rocheville Boom Boom

Cop with legitimate degrees sues city over other cops' use of fake ones. The police chief who promoted the cops with the fake degrees said of the lawsuit:

“Anybody can make any allegations they want. They have to prove it,” Bomba said.

Very unimpressive. Try taking a little responsibility there, huh? After all, you're Chief of Police for goodness sakes!

A commissioner said:

Whether a Rochville University degree is legitimate, he added, “that’s [the plaintiff's] opinion. It’s up to the courts to decide.”

Very nice. Lots of responsibility there, too. Don't make the right decision and head this off. Let the courts decide (and let the taxpayers pay). People like that should be voted out!

 

I have nothing to base this on except anectdotal evidence, but I am convinced that at least within the United States, the majority of fake degree holders are government employees -- usually at the municipal or county level, and often within police and fire departments or holders of elected or appointed office.

 

That could be true... or it could be that the majority of fake degree holders who get caught are government employees.

 

I tend to agree withe later that majority that gets caught is
govenment employees.

In privet sector as long as the person performs well on the job
and not trying to disply his credentials as minigful awards that person have less isssues.

I think we also require a higher level of integrity from public employees.

Last year the General Accounting Office (GAO) investigated the educational credentials of a Hamilton University graduate and senior career employee in the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.

The employee, Paula L. Callahan, who was placed on administrative leave pending the agency probe, received her bachelor's, master's and doctorate degrees in computer information systems from Hamilton...

Hamilton was one of eight schools with religious exemptions on the original list forwarded to Attorney General Pat Crank, who will enforce the new law.
