I guess her degree was worth exacly what she paid for it.  Funny that she was not mentioned as a Demorat.

Nuke em til they glow then shoot em in the dark.

Don't forget, Mr. Bush EARNED an MBA.

I expect stories claiming he too didn't deserve it. Somebody somewhere will find a way to make the accusation.

When you put the clowns in charge, don't be surprised when a circus breaks out.

The last post in the reply chain about Ms. Bresch is the most interesting:

Fact: she's been with the company since 1992, has steadily worked her way up the ladder ever since.
Worst case scenario speculation: she may have been "kicked upstairs where she can do less damage."

Fact: Sometime last fall, when she became COO, it became important that she have record of a bona fide MBA.
Speculation: She may or may not have misled Mylan to believe she had previously earned it.

Personally, you know what I think? If she didn't lie on her resumé, WV should have
awarded her an honorary MBA the day she got that big office. People get
honorary degrees - people get PhDs all the damn time, for their life's
experience outside of the classroom."

Whoever the poster Crisco is in real life, he or she has some real serious issues:

• May or may not have misled? Just as one cannot be a little dead, one cannot dissemble about a degree. You have it or you don't. She either lied about having an MBA or not. It's black and white. Even if you have completed all the coursework but haven't received your degree yet, you can't be counted as having that degree.
• The state should devalue all other MBA's just because one person got a "big office"? C'mon, she's COO of a company not Mother Theresa. What would you feel if you had an earned degree from the same institution and they just willy-nilly handed them out to anyone who got promoted to a "big office"? Bet you wouldn't be very happy.
• People do get honorary PhD's, that's true. But there's a big difference between a PhD and an MBA. PhD's in most schools, require a published research paper that has been defended in front of a committee of peers. MBA's rarely have such stringent requirements.
• I know from years in executive HR - honorary degrees never count to fulfill a bona fide occupational qualification. Imagine the problems that would occur in medicine, education and the hard sciences if honorary degrees were accepted as real. Would you want your doctor to have an honorary MD/DO? Would you want your dentist to have an honorary DDS? Would you want your pharmacist to have an honorary PharmD? Would you want the chief civil engineer in you city/county/state to have an honorary degree? Would you want the head chemist at your local water processing plant to have an honorary degree? State licensing departments do not recognise honorary degrees for any license or certification that requires a particular degree. Additionally, if a job description makes no allowance for honorary degrees and/or equivalent experience, the company is on the hook to every other person who applied for the same job, met the minimum qualifications and was denied the job. Can you say lawsuit? I thought you could.

This tool, Crisco, has chosen an apt screen name - his/her brain is deep fried. Definitely not the sharpest knife in the drawer.
