How easy it is for people with only a BA to pass themselves off as professors

He certainly sounded knowledgeable and authoritative on August 18 when he presented the findings of the Michael Brown autopsy to a nationally televised news conference.
"First of all, I'm Professor Shawn Parcells," Parcells said as he stood to address the reporters.
On his LinkedIn page and to CNN, Parcells said he's an adjunct professor at Washburn University in Topeka, Kansas -- but a spokeswoman for the university told CNN that's not true.
"(Parcells) is not now and has never been a member of the Washburn University faculty," university spokeswoman Michaela Saunders wrote in an email to CNN, adding that at one point, Parcells spoke without receiving pay to two groups of nursing students about the role of a pathologist's assistant and gave a PowerPoint presentation and answered students' questions.

I know someone with an online Masters who passes himself off at a university as a visiting professor. |

Yeah, like someone who does an overseas holistic "doctorate" in summer, online...from India...and attaches "Dr." to his signature.
You know who you are...your secret is safe. |
