Quick Ph.D. from U of L for ex-client
Two years after giving former University of Louisville dean Robert Felner's research center a $375,000 contract, a California school superintendent received a doctoral degree from U of L in only one semester.

Yes, it does. Union requires 3 years. Returning learners who've been out for a year or more are required to complete two additional semesters (or more) upon their return.

So Union kissed Bear's ass and gave his boy Douglas a Ph.D. in 9 months. It must have been the year Douglas was pushing Shelia Danzig's MIGS which counted for a second year a Ph.D. study.

Doesn't Union expire credits in a lot less than 20 years?
Bear must owe Union a big favor for admitting his buddy against policy.

Quote:In 2002, John E. Deasy, then superintendent of the Santa Monica-Malibu school district, in California, secured a $375,000 grant for Mr. Felner’s National Center on Public Education and Social Policy to conduct surveys of the school district. Two years later, Mr. Deasy was awarded a Ph.D. in education from the university, after being enrolled for only one semester of nine credit hours, the newspaper reported, citing university records.
The chairman of Mr. Deasy’s dissertation committee was Mr. Felner, who supervised no other doctoral students during his five years at the university. Now the superintendent of the Prince Georges County public schools, in Maryland, Mr. Deasy lists the degree on his Web bio. —Paul Fain
Update: Later today, the University of Louisville’s president, James R. Ramsey, formed a committee to investigate the allegations surrounding the awarding of the degree.
wow...platinum standard at its best...
Liberia shines like Cato in comparison...

Here's an article that seems to refer to the same "short-cut" issue.
