Last month the city of Oshkosh in conjunction with the Experimental Attendance Association awarded the Key to the City to Jack Pelton, recipient of two "degrees" from a diploma mill.
Turns out that there are 257 potential key to the city of Oshkosh recipients employed at the Pentagon. Yes, a congressional study (cited in the September Harper's Index) found that 257 Pentagon employees actually listed "degrees" received from diploma mills on their resumes. According to Harper's, approximately 100,000 Americans each year receive "degrees" from diploma mills.
Soon millions of students will start another semester at accredited colleges and universities, going deep in debt to earn legitimate degrees. What fools. Using the Jack Pelton/Pentagon method of degree attainment, they could save lots of time and money. If they learn how to fly a plane and kiss the right butts they might even get a key to the city of Oshkosh.
Isn't it time for someone in a position of authority in Oshkosh city government to stand up and insist that Pelton's key to the city award be rescinded?
