MANAGING BEST PRACTICES: About those diploma mills...
The government has released initial findings on its investigation into the use of diploma mill degrees by federal employees. One discovery: a program manager who claimed to hold a doctorate in occupational health and safety and helped coordinate responses to the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks and the anthrax contamination at the Capitol.
How could a person with a bogus academic degree ascend so high into the safety and health profession without the credential being challenged?
