The value of good spelling
Just one ‘e’ can make a big difference.
Anybody who received a diploma from the University of Berkley might want to think twice about including that fact in their resumes. It turns out the school is an internet diploma mill. The school has been shut down by a restraining order from a local judge in Erie, Pennsylvania.
The court order was issued as the result of a probe by the Pennsylvania Attorney General’s office into the school and its president Dr. Dennis Globosky. […] An animation on Berkley’s web site advises viewers, “you may already have your degree and not know it.” The school offers degrees in a wide number of majors for prices ranging from US$2,795 for a bachelor’s degree up to $4,995 for a doctorate.
The school claims its diplomas are accepted by a wide range of institutions of higher learning. Of course, if colleges will accept a Berkley diploma, it’s likely employers will accept them — especially when the name can be so easily confused with the University of California, Berkeley.
