Wanna be "ပေရာ္ဖက္ဆာေဒါက္တာဆိတ္ဖြား" for 1500$?

Do you want to be called as "ပေရာ္ဖက္ဆာေဒါက္တာဆိတ္ဖြား"
by spending 1500 bucks? Then possibly be honored by this
blogger in this "Hall of Shame"? Then read the article below:

'Psst. Wanna Buy a Ph.D.?

By THOMAS BARTLETT and SCOTT SMALLWOOD

It was a revelation rich in irony: A member of a college accreditation
board holds a Ph.D. from a "university" that sells doctorates to anyone
with $1,500. This year The Chronicle reported that Michael Davis, a
member of the Accrediting Council for Independent Colleges and Schools,
received his doctorate from Saint Regis University, which claims recognition
from the government of war-torn Liberia and requires little, if any, academic
work. He has since been booted from the board.

Most people in higher education probably dismissed the news as a laughable
aberration. Regrettable and embarrassing, but nothing more.

It turns out there are plenty of others like Mr. Davis, at all levels of higher
education: A wrestling coach in Wisconsin. A librarian in Texas. An assistant
dean at a Baptist university. Not to mention dozens of professors who hold
degrees from unaccredited colleges, some of which require nothing more
than a credit-card number and a mailing address.' read more below:
