  • Are UK Employers Really Affected by Bogus “Life Experience” Qualifications?
    Are UK employers really affected by bogus “life experience” qualifications? Verifile, the UK based pre-employment screening specialists, regularly finds “life experience” qualifications popping up in its background checks. Bogus “life experience” degrees are sold by Degree Mills, mainly online entities that purport to be genuine universities, offering qualifications based on little or no work. Their lack of recognised accreditation or legal authorisation to grant degrees means there is no guarantee of quality. Therefore, those who rely on these “degrees”, such as prospective employers and the public at large, are put at risk. Two recent cases uncovered by Verifile, which highlight the need for thorough screening for degree mills as part of good practice CV checking, are examined in this case study. A financial institution recently received an application from a candidate for a management position who turned out to have a “degree” from the notorious Rochville University. This position entails the management of sensitive functions at this financial services firm in relation to their product line; ensuring all controls and procedures are in place for the teams. The discovery of a bogus degree on this candidate’s CV was cause for concern for our client. Trust, integrity and honesty are all vital characteristics for this role. Once it was apparent the candidate had claimed on his CV to have a bogus degree, our client questioned whether the candidate had the character required for the role. On first completing the application, this candidate claimed to have a degree from New Rochelle University in New York. This might have been the reputable and legitimate College of New Rochelle.

  • Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Plygs by Ed Kociela ISBN 13: 9781535456791
    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} plygs by Ed Kociela ISBN 13: 9781535456791. This is the much-anticipated sequel to Ed Kociela's successful debut, "plygs," a fact-based novel about the people of a small, fundamentalist Mormon community and the self-proclaimed prophet who forced them to obey his twisted, demented teachings from engaging in welfare fraud to the horrors of child sexual abuse. This book completes the story of religion gone awry in the dusty barrenness of two small towns located along the state line between Utah and Arizona. It is the resolution of a story about a family torn apart by the demands of a demented prophet who controls every aspect of their lives by demanding they follow his word or face eternal damnation. Like the first book, ‘plygs2’ is also about love, lust, and greed and the heartbreaking loss of innocence that test the characters’ courage and will. “The first book was a primer on the lifestyle and beliefs of a group of fundamentalist Mormons," Kociela says. "This one pulls back the layers and exposes the vulnerabilities of a family forced to choose between its religious beliefs and belief in each other.” The book also deals with the fate of the fundamentalist prophet, wanted by authorities in three states for vicious sex crimes against children he took as brides. Kociela said he hopes the book will shed even more light on this very complex subject. “Some people shrug it off and say that consenting adults should be allowed to live whichever lifestyle they choose,” he said. “While I believe that is true, there is a subtext that often goes unrecognized in these fundamentalist groups.

  • Introduction
    INTRODUCTION The phenomenon of bogus providers in higher education is nothing new, as the authors of this timely study demonstrate in their section on the historical overview of diploma mills and bogus accrediting bodies. But the problem actually goes far beyond the 19 th century. In the appendices to volume II of Rashdall's masterful work The Universities of Europe in the Middle Ages (Powicke and Emden, Oxford, rev. ed. 1936), there are listed some 23 establishments which various contemporary and later authorities claimed to be universities, but for which no adequate evidence existed. 1 Indeed, Pope Alexander IV issued a Bull against the chanter of the Cathedral of Reims in 1258 for falsely claiming exemption from residential requirements for attending the non-existent studium generale in that city when he was actually living in another country and claiming benefices there: The dean of the Reims cathedral chapter was forbidden to allow him to enjoy this subterfuge. And in another cited case, the Bishop of Albi excommunicated the entire town because of their false claim to have established a university - a decision which was reversed on appeal to the ecclesiastical court of the Archbishop of Bourges. 2 Thus already by the end of the 13 th Century we have evidence that false claims of university privileges were extant, and also that the competent authorities were no more consistent in their approaches to the problem in that time than are their modern counterparts. Given the sorry history of bogus providers and dubious (at best) claims on their behalf, the efforts of the late Twentieth and the Twenty-First Centuries need now to accomplish what has not succeeded for over 800 years - a concerted effort to combat fraudulent academic providers and their supporters, including the so-called quality assurance agencies that supposedly give them legitimacy.
