Tennessee Board of Regents OKs Diploma Mill Degrees
Frankly, the Tennessee Board of Regents’ lack of support for the value of a higher education comes as no surprise to me. But here’s the scoop: “State Employees List Suspect Degrees.”
Basically, state officials and some educators got degrees required for their jobs online by simply filling out a form and writing a check. And the State Board of Regents says that’s okay.
This is just the crummiest, fork-in-the-eye insult the State of Tennessee could give all those people out there with legitimate degrees who can’t find jobs.
My dad went to night school off and on for years transforming his years of carpentry experience into a degree he could use to teach high school shop classes. The State of Tennessee is insulting working-class people like him too, people who invest their modest incomes in education, who end a hard work day with more work to get a real degree.
