That was someone's typo

[link\|http://www.visualbasic-books.com/visual-basic-6-from-scratch-(scratch-series).html\|http://www.visualbas...atch-series).html] Gabriel Oancea has over 14 years of progressive experience in object-oriented analysis and design, systems architecture, developing client-server and multi-layered systems. He holds a Ph.D. in Computer Science from Columbia State University and an MS in Engineering from University of Bucharest. Looks like 2 bogus degrees, not just one. His next job this degree was removed: [link\|http://www.firestarsoftware.com/news/execteam.shtml\|http://www.firestars...ws/execteam.shtml] Oancea, a resident of Nashua, New Hampshire, holds a M.S. in Engineering from the University of Bucharest and has completed graduate work toward a Ph.D. in Computer Science at the University of Toronto. I guess the Bucharest one is untraceable.
Post #98,982 by ben_tilly 4/27/03 7:40:52 PM Reply	That looks like one bogus degree The other one might or might not be legit. There is a [link\|http://www.unibuc.ro/en/\|University of Bucharest], it just is in Romania. For the record, the best math student that I have have been in a class with was from Romania. What really floored me is that in Romania she wasn't even a math student, she concentrated in English in highschool. That is how she managed to get a scholarship to go to undergrad in the USA. (Entering Dartmouth College as an undergrad she was in half of my graduate-level classes as a freshman. I was probably the only graduate student with a better background than her, but I acknowledge that she was better than me at math.)

Post #99,017 by ben_tilly 4/28/03 1:03:41 AM Reply	Ah, understood And that is the problem with a proven liar. Whether or not they are lying, people often won't believe them. But in this case I am inclined towards belief because after being caught lying, that statement remained on the CV. Plus if the new statement that appeared has any chance of being true (some PhD work in Toronto), a BSc is likely, and Bucharest is as likely as any other place for that.

I'd guess that the degree programs aren't strictly equivalent regardless, but it seems fishy. "Packed like lemmings into shiny metal boxes.
