Re: “An Essex Company Grades Online Degree Programs”

I felt the article was well written, and an excellent example of fine journalism. Information was presented to represent both sides of the issue. Barone was quoted with his explanation of the situation, with no discrediting follow-up by the writer. As a reader, I felt that I was presented fair information, and felt comfortable coming to a conclusion based on the information I read. I am horrified that the school board did not bother to interview several candidates for a position of such great importance and influence in the lives of children. I think the school board and hiring committee should be held responsible for negligence, and Barone's claimed work thoroughly reviewed, as well as the "university's" reputation at the time of the granted degree. As a parent and an educator myself, I would not be comfortable assuming he obtained the degree legitimately. I would demand documentation. If there was a chance he obtained it unethically, he should be removed. This is not the kind of example we want for our children.
