Fake Degrees
In this thought-provoking article, Adv Anton Wiid examines the increasing prevalence of fake degrees and qualifications issued by so-called “degree mills”. He argues that professional titles such as “Dr.” and “Prof.” are often accepted without proper verification of the issuing institution. The article highlights the risks associated with unaccredited qualifications, stressing that their use is not merely a matter of personal vanity but may involve serious ethical, professional, and legal consequences. Wiid calls on employers, professional bodies, and the public to exercise greater diligence when assessing academic credentials and professional standing.
