If they let him keep his degree, they're sending a message that as long as your lie holds up for a couple of years, it's all good.

- chrismcb 13y ago"your lie holds up for a couple of years, it's all good"... well in a way it is. First off it wasn't like he was repeatedly lying, so it wasn't like it needed to "hold up for a couple of years" But as a business, if someone received a degree from a major university, would I care what grade he got in high school? Or if he lied about his high school grade? It just seems to me they want to say "no he really doesn't have a degree... yeah he earned it, we gave it to him, but we took it back, so we aren't really associated with him."
