Update on Laura Callahan

It looks like her BA, Masters and PhD all came from Hamilton.

Yep. It looks like she shares your ethically-challenged philosophy of "I'll take my chances."

 

I think as noted in a different thread on this topic her only RA degree is an associates from TESC.

Poor TESC. I'm not sure this is the kind of publicity they're seeking.

Note to Laura Callahan: Earning a Ph.D. is supposed to be harder than earning an Associate's degree. That should have been your first clue.

ssssssssssssssssssssss.... boom BOOM B O O M ...do you see that Myrtle, I do believe that woman's pants are on fire!!

 

There is nothing "ethical" about it. It's just a personal choice. There is nothing unethical about getting a degree from a legal degree granting institution. It wouldn't surprise me if she isn't fired over this.

 

Care to make a wager on that?


Bruce

 

Naw. There is a chance she will be fired or forced to resign.. But I wouldn't be surprised if she wasn't. Also, it's not JUST the degree that will be her undoing, it's her previous history with problems combined with this degree thing being too high profile. In a regular business, who knows how big of a deal her Hamilton degree would be, if any at all.

 

In fact, she just might get promoted or transferred to another section of the DHS.
(Your tax dollars hard at work)

 

Definitely the standard saw of a degree mill apologist.

Let's not forget that Monticello, American State (the Hamilton predecessor), Columbia State, and a bazillion other frauds claimed to be "legal state-licensed programs" right up to the point that authorities shut them down.

I don't know about your ethics, but for my money, someone that knowingly represents that they have a degree for which they've done no work or adequately demonstrated equivalent knowledge (and a resume doesn't count) is hardly what I'd call ethical.

Of course, there are people out there who would argue that there's nothing wrong with selling herbal supplements and making outrageous claims about what they do... The argument isn't a whole lot different... both are inducing an employer (or consumer) to purchase a product (penis enlargement or the services of an employee) based on fraudulent representation of what that product (or employee) has in it/him.

But I don't expect that any reasoned argument will change your viewpoint, since you seem dead-set on defending various bogus and less-than-wonderful schools.

 

It is my understanding that Hamilton only has legal authority to grant religious degrees. Am I missing something?

 

Nope. That nonwonderful institution would be defined as a degree mill.

 

Yes, you are. It's not that they're authorized to grant religious degrees. They claim exemption from regulation because they're a religious institution. Another reason not to trust Wyoming's oversight of unaccredited schools.
