If her credentials were legit, why didn't she do her damnedest to prove that they were? It seems she threw up her hands and went off in a huff; not exactly the behavior of an innocent. And how hard would it be to verify that she indeed had a degree from Tulsa? Tulsa, even though it resides in the third-world country known as Oklahoma, is only a phone call away. If Ms. Robertson crumbles under the weight of six plucky high school students, imagine what would happen when faced with a whole school building full of them. I say good riddance and good on these kids for questioning someone who didn't pass the sniff test.

Shouldn't the USDA stamp be followed by "Choice","Prime" or "#1"?I mean it is Kansas, which was the terminus of the Chisholm Trail from which cattle were put on trains for a nice ride to the slaughterhouses inthe city of broad shoulders.
Apparently, Corllins (aka Corlins; they're not consistent in how they spell it) is run by something called the "Alias Universities Group" which is based in Pakistan - in particular, some guy's apartment in Karachi. He has around 15 of these fake universities by now.
where making shit up is only the beginning...
[nothing to see here...]also, I misread Pulitzer as Putzer
(was that a Greeley or a Brigham Young reference?)

How did it read in the original Ukraine?
You're trolling in a pond with no fish.
I think it's good journalism training to spend time in the alley.
"I do feel it is my responsibility. As superintendent I feel like I let the teachers and the students down."
"Feel?" Literally? He shouldn't "feel like" he let them down - he DID LET THEM DOWN!
Reminds me of (r)Money "feeling like" he didn't serve in Viet Nam. Because he didn't.
