I'm still on my first cup of coffee but find it so funny that this article is talking about how they cannot confirm Roberts Doctoral degree yet he is continually referred as Dr. Roberts. HAHAHA. I don't know why it's making me crack up.

Haha I didn’t even notice that

Is that a common policy for universities to not release records without "client" consent?Or is that unique to Trident? If it's not the usual policy of most universities, maybe this is why he chose this school in particular.

I’m not sure honestly. I thought maybe FERPA would apply but I couldn’t figure out if Trident qualified by receiving Department of Education funds. However, while I was briefly looking up info on Trident, they have had a lot of shady controversies, including problems with awarding degrees without people having all the requirements fulfilled back around 2011.

I know! I had to provide transcripts, sent from the university, before I was hired. Gee, I guess that it would have been okay in Iowa, to just "say" I have a Master Degree in Special Education. Then, if I was caught in a lie, just say, "Well, I did graduate from high school.". Same difference.

LOL.

Hey, don’t slander Iowa…without us, y’all wouldn’t have sweet corn, pork, ethanol gas and, most importantly, Jason Momoa.

(yes, I know he was born in Hawaii but he moved to Iowa as an infant so he’s ours. fight me, I dare ya)

Although, I guess if there was no Iowa, the music would’ve never died… (iykyk)
