This might be funny if it weren't true
May. 15th, 2003 01:40 pmCoppin State College is poised to let at least eight students in its criminal-justice graduate program receive master's degrees on Sunday even though they did not pass their comprehensive exams or write final papers considered acceptable by the faculty. The college decided to let the students graduate after they sued the college. (from Invisible Adjunct via Calpundit and Kieran Healy ) (side note: Healy is a professor at the UofA). Some faculty are threatening to boycott the ceremony. At least one student who is graduating is considering a countersuit, since she suspects her degree will lose some of its value on the job market now. Amazing. I suspect there might be more to this story than first meets the eye...
