Quite right. Universities can do what they like in terms of refunds and new courses, but they can’t avoid the damage that failure to check the academic credentials of their instructors does to their reputation. When students – like Hubbs up there – have to uncover the bogus backgrounds of their professors, universities have a lot of explaining to do.
The Monterey Institute of International Studies is a graduate school of Middlebury College. For years it’s enthusiastically employed a man whose grandiose claims about himself made students so suspicious that a group of them hit the internet and checked the guy out. He’s a fraud.
It’s scandalous that students, not fellow faculty or the administration, had to do the dirty work here. It’s embarrassing that it happened at a school that’s about security studies. Unable to detect an obvious fraud on their own campus!

funny how they did it the same way we discover student work is phony!
