[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Paywalled but basically his “doctorate from Penn” is a two year Ed.D. from a cash cow, pay to play program

There’s already a lot of prejudice towards ed schools and EdDs in elite academia (as in, the EdD is not the terminal degree unless it’s from Harvard Ed school or Columbia Teachers College) but a two year program made up of classes once a month, plus a week or two per summer, seems pretty skimpy. Definitely sets him apart from the presidents of the actual Ivies, AAU, or T20 schools. Not a great for UVa, besides all of the political issues with the appointment.

Every "doctor" principal and "doctor" superintendent in the U.S. has this bogus online degree mill Ed.D. "doctorate." The scheme is even more egregious in that they charge the entire Ed.D. tuition cost to whatever public district they work for at the time and as soon as they finish the bogus online coursework, it unlocks a fat automatic raise. And most of them do the "coursework" while they're on the clock at school.[/quote]
