If this is true (I don't think it is), he apparently duped the University Of Maryland itself:
"Kundra holds an undergraduate degree from UM in psychology and a master's of science in information technology."

Took all of 1 minute to find that on Bing:

Can we move on please?
- tokenadult 17y agoThat's an interesting clash of sources. The university registrar is the authoritative source on who has a degree. The university news service is a captive journalistic organization--it will be interesting to see if its report rather than Dvorak's is confirmed from the primary sources.
- zhyder 17y agoYour link has "Kundra holds an undergraduate degree from UM in psychology and a master's of science in information technology." Which actually doesn't indicate that the MS in IT was from UM, and hence doesn't clash with Dvorak's post. Edit: Interesting that the Wikipedia page, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vivek_Kundra http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vivek_Kundra , has already been updated with "claims to hold... but no record" using Dvorak's post as the citation. Should have waited a few days to see how this gets resolved or at least backed up by more journalists.
- jdminhbg 17y agoWe should move on because the U of MD PR office didn't fact-check his degree in putting out a press release?
