Engineering Degree Online|Fake Degrees - a Crime in Texas
Just thought I’d make a quick point about the trouble you can get into trying to pass off a fake degree.
In fact, in the great state of Texas, it’s a crime. According to law down in the heart of Texas, it is a crime (a misdemeanor) to use a fraudulent or sub-standard degree to promote a business to seek employment or ask extra compensation.
There was a story a while back about a guy who got a PhD from a place called
Lasalle University. You’ve probably seen their ads in some of the major papers.
Well, LaSalle University closed in 1997 but then it was purchased by a different
party and continued to operate under the same name.
Evidently this guy who got his PhD had no idea of the school’s troubled history.
Which means he didn’t do his homework.
According to the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board LaSalle University
of Louisiana was an institution that did offer degrees for less than college level work required. They basically were a fraudulent or substandard institution.
Now this guy had a complete set of papers from the university which included a letter of acceptance, and a list of required reading and coursework. He also wrote a 150-page dissertation. But the truth is that anything he turned in would have been OK with Lasalle, according the folks in Texas.
Just remember this. For online degree programs there are no hard rules of regulation,
except accreditation.
And in Texas, using an unaccredited degree is against the law.
Got it, partner?
