Feds Fingered in Fake Degree Case

Uh-oh, it looks like the old diploma mill story is rearing its ugly head again. The lawyer for two people charged with peddling phony college degrees said in court this week that at least 135 federal employees got degrees through the operation. They include a senior State Department employee in Kuwait and a Department of Justice worker in Spokane, Wash. Another interesting tidbit from the AP story:

The defense team also is seeking access to an Office of Personnel Management report which reportedly provides more detail on federal employees who are believed to have purchased the bogus degrees to enhance their portfolios.
