Well, there are people displaying a number of unaccredited or blatantly millish degrees.
If it is understandable that non-academics in the outside world might be fooled basically because they failed to do their homework, academics or universities just cannot be excused because it's their job.

I think -as always- that is another Ward Churchill "before" picture...the individual may have the right friends, the right kind of family name, the right kind of introduction that forgive a lot of sins.
I already mentioned an Athabasca professor bringing his much younger wife aboard as postgraduate faculty (on the faculty list) when she did not have a doctorate yet...for all I know, she might be a sheer genius...or probably the same strategy wouldn't serve me and it serves her because she has the right contacts while I don't; I know it blatantly flies in the face of many accepted standards such as fairness negating nepotism, but those standards are good for the unwashed nobodies who got no friends. As Robespierre once said when the issue of poverty was mentioned, wealth brings so many problems that we shall pity those unfortunate enough to have it.

Certainly such situations are "time bombs"...a Ward Churchill silent gene that may trigger a terrible illness at any given moment should such people either overstep a line or be exposed thus becoming a burden...
