The Office of Personnel Management has held a seminar
during which approximately 200 hiring and program
managers were schooled on how to identify bogus academic
degrees presented by individuals to gain employment or
promotion.
“Following today’s seminar, human resource professionals
and program managers will be better prepared to identify
the misrepresentation of academic credentials,
specifically the presentation of bogus degrees issued
through diploma mills by those who, for self gain, would
attempt to perpetrate a hoax or fraud upon the American
public,” said director Kay Coles James. “Out of respect
and admiration for our nation’s honest and hard-working
federal civil servants, the Bush administration is
committed to weeding out those who would misrepresent
themselves and their credentials in ways that put the
nation’s health and security in jeopardy.”
