Kim's non-singing self is annoying as hell.

Sheree's non-dancing self is annoying as hell.

Sheree's 24 yo daughter was wearing an elephant necklace. We shall see what that means.

Cynthia's man is handsome.

Lawrence(?) can SANG.

Doctor's Orders, Degree's Fake

http://atlanta.metblogs.com/2005/06/...-degrees-fake/

In A Monk’s Reflections, Rev. Edward Malloy says “A college degree is not a sign that one is a finished product but an indication a person is prepared for life.”

I’m thinking Doctor Tiy-E Muhammad might’ve held onto that nugget for as long as he could until today’s AJC piece.

The former Clark Atlanta University associate professor turned castaway on TBS’ “The Real Gilligan’s Island” has called himself a psychologist on his Web site and book jacket covers, yet he is not licensed to practice psychology in Georgia or anywhere else.

Tiy-E Muhammad is a ‘professor’ on the TBS reality show ‘The Real Gilligan’s Island.’ But Clark Atlanta University says it let him go. His credentials are as uncharted as a desert isle.

Kara Sinkule, a spokeswoman for the Georgia secretary of state’s office, said Muhammad, known as “The Love Doctor” on a local radio station, could face misdemeanor criminal charges.

Claiming you are a psychologist without a license is illegal, she said.

Muhammad, 35, says he’s a doctor, but he didn’t earn a Ph.D. in psychology at the school from which he has said he graduated, school records show. In fact, he attended Southern Illinois University for just one semester as an unspecified graduate student, said SIU spokesman Tom Woolf.

Muhammad said he left Clark Atlanta, where he was an associate professor in the psychology department for four years, because he wasn’t paid enough and he “no longer felt that spark” from teaching. School officials said he left after they discovered his credentials were bogus.

Muhammad, who received a master’s degree in guidance and counseling from Eastern Illinois University, said Monday he was unaware that claiming to be a psychologist without a license was illegal.

“I checked it out when I moved here. It’s not against the law,” he said.

But when a reporter read Muhammad the Georgia Law Code that relates to psychologists (Sec. 43-39-7), he said, “I’m a life coach, I say I’m a life coach. It makes things simpler.”

First there was the Cartersville editor stealing Leonard Pitts’ articles and now this so called “psychologist/author” turns up to be the bunk. And apparently he knew he was faking the funk, but was still peddling his information and making women swoon. And I took a class from him in undergrad when I cross-registered!

Talk about a smooth criminal.

I wish he had stuck with the masters degree and not faked the doctorate. There are people, many Black folks in particular, who would still listen to his advice without the PhD claim.

I completely agree. He, apparently, had the audience's attention during his workshop/seminar in which Sheree was present. Psychology is still a young science, and people have found all types of loop-holes in which they can practice it without a license, ... as long as they do not refer to themselves a psychologists.

But it's hard for me to believe this guy did not know he had to be licensed in order to wear the title. I think he is trying to plead ignorance. But the real question is whether his Ph.D. is even authentic.

All of this is so funny to me, because just this past week, one of the professors in the graduate department at my unversity was just revealed to have an unauthentic Ph.D. We were all under the impression that she was doctoral student at a university out in the mid-West. But when she finished the program, and it came time to submit transcripts to verify the degree, the address list on her transcripts were from some foreign country. Ain't dat CRAZY!!! But she still insists that everyone call her Dr. So & So and will even CORRECT you if you forget. LOLOL!!
