Oops... Did Emory University Inflate Student Data?

[newsjunky]

Did the University misrepresent student data to get better rankings? That seems to be the charge.

Emory University intentionally misreported data about its students for at least 12 years to groups that rank colleges, President Jim Wagner saidFriday.

We would probably be astounded at how much this kind if thing happens.

Absolutely, rankings like this are used in schools and corporations so I'm sure they work it to their advantage.

Sadly, this is more widespread than people know. Usually it goes unreported.

We had a case here at Dickinson State University. They were handing out fake degrees to Chinese students. The number can be measured in the hundreds.

Yea, well I know someone with a degree from Emory, has a long line of Emory graduates in his family. I have no idea how he could qualify for college let alone graduate. :dunno
