Excerpt:

On Thursday, I wrote about Dr. James Enstrom, an environmental sciences professor and researcher at UCLA who blew the whistle on a fraud at the California Air Resources Board.

Enstrom started looking into what he thought was a less-than-rigorous study that attempted to link fine particulate emissions from diesel engines to 2,000 “premature deaths” in the state, and discovered that the lead author, “Dr.” Hien Tran, had received his diploma from Thornhill University instead of UC Davis, which Tran’s CV had claimed.

The school colors of Thornhill University, as it turns out, are brown and brown — UPS brown, because the entire school fit into a mailbox in one of their stores. Tran, it turns out, bought his PhD from a diploma mill.

I think I posted about it a couple months ago as well, Andy. No response then either.

The story is as rich as it gets. Tran got his diploma from that fly by night joint in Israel from a guy who was convicted of pedophilia.

Prolly a little too regional to garner much interest here. The legislation Tran helped put into place resulted in a boat load of trucking firms leaving the state.
