Engineering Degree Online | Kentucky Education votes for a Diploma Mill?

Posted by bposton on November 8th, 2006 — Posted in engineering degree online

Hey so it’s the day after Election Day - did you vote? I did :-)

In the spirit of the election I thought I’d report about a recent political news story from
Kentucky.

It seems that a PAC from the Kentucky Education Association endorsed a state Senate candidate who received his
bachelor’s degree from a “diploma mill.”

The Kentucky Educator’s Political Action Committee recently changed its position to recommend
the Democratic candidate Douglas Goodman instead of the Republican Sen. Elizabeth Tori in the 10th
Senate District.

They first picked Tori as their recommended candidate, but then switched to Goodman after Tori
indicated in a forum that she would be open to a pilot program for school vouchers, which the teachers’
lobby opposes.

Then Goodman, a county magistrate who manages a construction company, says he received his
bachelor’s degree from Kennedy-Western University, which is an unaccredited institution based in Wyoming.

Of course, the PAC says that Goodman’s educational background wasn’t an issue…

And of course, Goodman is against vouchers…

Ah, the politics of it all…:-(

A timely reminder to just vote NO for Diploma Mills
