Douglas Dissertation Proves Value of Unaccredited Degrees

Dennis pulls the same stunt as the rest of those "people." He mentions the "before" part of the data without mentioning the "after" part. It would be as if you were testing a medicine and only looked at people before they took it. Yeah, they would all be sick. No kidding.

The point of the dissertation was that when HR managers find out about things like accreditation and the non-recognition of state-approval and -licensure, their acceptance of unaccredited degrees goes way down. That's it.

It validates Bear's ticking time bomb metaphor...

 

"Sometime you win. Sometimes you lose. Sometimes it rains."
(I'm giving out a prize to whoever can name the movie that's from.)

 

Bull Durham. Now breathe through your eyes.

 

You win Rich. All I need is a mailing address and the prize is yours. A pm will do nicely.

 

I'm not kidding. There is an actual prize. I'll send it to you...at no cost to you. I will. It's right here. It has your name on it. No kidding.

 

Rich, submerge the package in water for 30 minutes before opening.

 

OMG that is so cold! (C4 works underwater anyway)

I'm going to go off-topic and say that I'll send the same prize to the first person who correctly names (guesses) the winners of all the divisions in both the American League and the National League. So, you can guess and be first but if you're wrong then you lose. You can wait until it's virtually certain but then you may not be first. Post it up my babies. A unique prize could be yours.

 

Does anyone know the title of the original disseration? Was there a follow-up study?
Thanks,
Russell

 

The title is:

THE ACCREDITATION OF DEGREE-GRANTING INSTITUTIONS AND ITS ROLE IN THE UTILITY OF COLLEGE DEGREES IN THE WORKPLACE

 

Side note: The fifth day of the week is Thurs. (e.g., Sun., Mon. Tues., Wed., and Thurs.); making Fri. day six.

 

Says me …

Clearly my comment was deliberate toward the U.S. calendar. And of course you before now knew that.
