A Medium that’s Rarely Well Done
Iowa State Sen. Mark Chelgren is pushing legislation to limit the number of Democrats state universities can hire as professors. When reporters looked at the bio on Chelgren’s web site to see what he knew about education, they noticed he claimed he had a business degree from the Forbco Management School. What’s Forbco?

When that went public, Chelgren quickly deleted the claim from his bio; he has no college degree at all.
