As a journalism educator I meet students who are the first in their families to attend a university. They include foreign students, who are recent immigrants and US citizens from low-income families.

WORLD EDUCATION UNIVERSITY

World Education University represents a game changing paradigm shift in the American and global education model by providing tuition free education to all.

Aiming to be a comprehensive education ecosystem with programs from “Pre K to Gray,” WEU first seeks to be an accredited provider of high quality, university degrees and credentials that are offered to anyone, anytime, anywhere.

WE DONT NEED NO EDUCATION?

Would you be upset by a decision that occurred at your job, where a senior level executive position was given to a person who did not meet the minimum educational preparation requirements and whose direct reports were required to hold advanced degrees?

Most would be offended to have to meet the minimum requirements for positions, but that the senior level executive does not.

My question is that if there are internal candidates that qualify for the minimum requirements, can a position be filled by a person who does not meet the required educational preparation?
How can someone with a bachelor degree evaluate reports that have a masters?

I agree that on the surface it sounds sketchy. How indeed can one be the boss when all the direct reports are far more educated than the boss is? But, you're confusing two issues: Doing and managing. In this person's case, they did neither very well!

What is the message the organization is sending. Want the American dream? Don't go to college!

Literally millions of US families are facing the same decision as students are preparing to go to college this coming fall. And there are many considerations and financial factors which go into choosing where to go to school. The continually rising cost of a higher education and the increasing and sometimes crushing debt that too many students decide to take on to get their advanced degree.
