Lawsuit accuses Yale of false statements

A prestigious South Korean university that came under fire for hiring a professor who lied about her credentials is suing Yale, saying the American university wrongly confirmed the woman earned a degree.
Dongguk University is seeking at least $50 million in damages, saying Yale's actions "severely tarnished" its stellar reputation, sparked a criminal probe, cost employees their jobs and led to a decline in donations, government grants and student applications.
What are the odds that there are more false Yale degrees out there that Yale has actually verified?

Criminy, the president has a degree from there. How prestigious can it be?
Hey!
I got's a degree from Yale!
(Not that I know where it is, but I got it, dammit...in spite of skipping all those classes!)
As for the First AWOL Cokehead/torturer-in-thief, I blame Connecticut.

I heard a ninny on sports-squawk radio yesterday claim that getting in is the hard part, & that Stanford & Harvard aren't that difficult once you're accepted. "Proved" by a claim that at Stanford, at least, you can drop a class up to the day of the final.
Interesting, esp. if true.
TIME WARP!!!!
