Online school is bogus, state says - BILL SULON, Patriot News
A self-proclaimed expert witness in structural engineering has one. So does an assistant police chief, a journalist and a library director. All hold phony degrees from "The University of Berkley," an Erie-based online "diploma mill," the state attorney general's office said. And today, human resource departments across the country might be checking resumes to see if their employees have the same credentials. Attorney General Tom Corbett yesterday filed a lawsuit in Erie County Court seeking to shut down the online business. The state's Bureau of Consumer Protection also wants the Web site's owner, Dennis James Globosky, a former New Mexico state trooper, to be permanently barred from conducting business in the state, and to pay up to $3,000 for each violation of state consumer protection and education laws.
