3 University Of District Columbia Professors Hold Degrees That Deceive: Sport Ph.D.s From 'Diploma Mills': The University of District Columbia gave three professors raises when they received Ph.D.s. That's standard in academia -- unless the degrees are worthless. UDC professors Angelyn Flowers, Sinclair Jeter and Maragaret Moore received their Ph.D.s from Commonwealth Open University -- a school that, according to Fox 5, is non-accredited, accepts most people to its online program without verifying backgrounds and doles out advanced diplomas in exchange for academic requirements that barely scratch the surface of accredited programs' requirements. "Diploma mills" hand out phony degrees for cash, and Fox 5 reports that COU is part of a billion-dollar industry that distributes an estimated 200,000 fake degrees annually. Online Education Database indicates that the industry is worth at least between $200 to $500 million.
