Liberian Presidential Candidate In Diploma-Mill Scandal
from the why-bother? dept
david goldenberg writes "George Weah, the great soccer player and hero of Liberia, has just suffered a blow in his bid to become president of the war-torn nation. Weah claims to have earned his college degree at Parkwood University, a known diploma mill with no campus, students, or teachers." These types of stories are way too common. Apparently Weah is just taking after all of those US government officials who have bogus degrees as well.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
