Diploma Mills

It's a college con job!

The head of a controversial center run by ex-convicts at Brooklyn's Medgar Evers College obtained a "doctorate" degree from an online "diploma mill," an official told The Post.

Divine Pryor, founder of the Center for NuLeadership on Urban Solutions, is suing the CUNY school to block his group's eviction from the campus for lacking credentials.

He claims he earned a Ph.D. from Suffield University.

Suffield's Web site offers associate, bachelor, master's and doctoral degrees for upwards of $550, with discounts for multiple degrees.

It admits there are no academic requirements and says, "The whole process can often be completed within 7-10 days."

Chanel, I'm missing something - Why do you think our tax dollars are involved?

Do you think the ex-cons at Medgar Evans are paying full tuition?

Oh gertcha. I thought the suggestion was that the diploma mill was a public instrument, which doesn't appear to be the case.

It's just ironic that a guy with a fake degree is arguing about the standards and integrity of the program he runs. I'd be curious to know what his salary is.

The Medgar Evers program is being shut down because it does not comply with CUNY degree requirements. That does not surprise me in the least, yet this "doctor" seems incredulous.
