I've posted this in the North American forum, but maybe it would be of interest to people here.

There is a professor at Simon Fraser University, http://www.sfu.ca a well respected university in Canada.

He has a BA, MA and PhD in Psychology from a diploma mill. Yes, even the BA is from a diploma mill. Apparently, he has taught for over 10 years and they are too chicken to fire him. My prof won't tell me who he is but only says that he is still there.

Is this insane or what? These shams are not limited to other countries alone and I am quite offended that such a respected university would allow this to go on.

Maybe his diplomas are shams but he has turned out to be a natural teacher so they keep him?

Any chance of a cut and paste job? I can't open that page from here.
