Our resident holder of a Master's Degree and self-proclaimed expert on the great n' wonderful education being taught to undergraduate students during the past 20+ years had this to say about a criticizer of said, to wit:

I was just wondering what our Master "expert" has to say about this, to wit:

Before losing her job in June after 30 years at the school, Chang traveled worldwide as one of its top fundraisers. She was arrested on Sept. 15 on state charges she embezzled about $1 million, including a $250,000 donation from a Saudi prince's foundation.

The federal case is based in part on FBI interviews with unnamed students, most from overseas, who were awarded scholarships of $5,000 or more per semester by Chang.

Officially, the terms required the students to work part-time for the Asian studies program. Instead, the complaint says, they became Chang's personal assistants.

One student described having to report to Chang's home in Queens each day to drive "Chang to the hair salon, to restaurants and to the airport," the complaint says. It adds the student also "was responsible for taking out garbage and shoveling snow."

'Boss'
It says other students shopped for food, cooked and washed clothes. Another student cashed her checks so that her drivers could take cash to Foxwoods, a casino in Connecticut.

Chang "would often tell (one student) she was the 'boss,'" the complaint said. She allegedly warned the same student to keep quiet this year when the FBI began investigating.

After Chang was fired, one of the victims sent an e-mail to a St. John's official expressing concerns about losing a scholarship. Chang had three student housekeepers who each worked 122 days a year, the e-mail said.

Just how many more servants are serving the elite on Campuses around the Nation thus comprising their educational studies?


lol! lol! lol! lol!

You know, I never brought up my degree until you asked.

Since then, you have thrown it in my face, disregarding the fact that you, too, hold a degree in some sort of science and got "certification" to teach.

You trash the very system you took advantage of, then make snide comments about the education of others.

Are some professors bad. Absolutely. Are there some degrees that are meaningless. Absolutely.

Does that mean the whole system is bad or that all degrees are worthless?

Of course not.

I have also never proclaimed myself an expert at anything, quite unlike yourself. Stop making up lies.
