Could we have more detail? Perhaps the name of the University, or at least the country in which it happened?

- KoZeN 16y agoPerhaps the name of the University Not likely. To be fair, if I was to name and shame I may as well pack my bags and leave the country. All I'll say is that these are red-brick Uni's in the UK. A close friend highlighted the issue through a discovery he made whilst developing plagarism detection software for a private organisation that worked closely with a certain collective of Universities, I recognised one of the names of the people he mentioned and I know for a fact, due to my own personal connection with the individual that she never attended or would even come close to qualifying for the PhD she claims to have been awarded. Another Swedish gentleman who I became very good friends with during my travels in NZ eventually disclosed how he achieved his PhD through certain 'investments' and has since used said qualification to leverage his residency application to stay in NZ permanently.

Of course, perfectly understandable. > All I'll say is that these are red-brick Uni's in the UK. Which are the 'redbrick' ones? Are they the ones which used to be polytechnics, or Oxbridge, or the ones in between like Bath and Glasgow?

- Dylan16807 16y agoIt was a question of KoZeN, not about the article.
- pbiggar 16y agoLook at the context of my question. I wasn't asking about the University in the article.
