    A few things to note -

    It matters not that a degree is not required for his position(s). Nor does it matter that he is currently attending Vandy. The issue is that he took legitimate credit (in the school handbook; everyone calls him "Dr.") for something that is fraudulent.

    The only place his dissertation is listed is the on-campus library. Ironically, the dissertation is "unavailable" - he removed it from the library himself, according to the librarians. The length of the project is supposedly a whopping 53 pages, including sources. Oddly enough, no one is allowed a reproduction of a page or two from the dissertation.

    Why has C of O axed the messenger? Why do they continue to defend the fraud?

    Your post comes across like it is rather personal (in other words that you are the person who was axed or connected to them).

    I skimmed the articles from the other post. My observation is that they (school) alleged the prof who slammed the President (or whatver he was) did not follow proper channels and went around from behind gossiping and stirring things up. If this is true that was not a very 'christian act' on the part of the whistle blower. Again, if it is true he should have grabbed some heuvos and confronted the issue head on.

    Now as to the President (or whatever he was). It is extremely disappointing that he would get a degree from an err....errr.well....err...you know. What was it... operated out of a guys basement in a residential area (??). I cannot believe he did not know that the school was not on par as it was so obviously well...er...er..er... At any rate, poor judgement at best. His attitude comes across as unChristian as well. Frankly the whole scenario is unimpressive. The schools attitude is unimpressive from many standpoints. Does this dude not teach ethics or some such thing.

    The school would not be on my list of places to send my child or for me to attend personally.

    Ahh well....why should any of this surprise one. We live in a fallen world with behaviors that match.

    I suspect that it has to do with "good ol' boy" relationships.
