These Cats Have Real College Degrees!

These Cats have obtained College Degrees and MBA’s

Colby Nolan, a plain house cat was awarded an MBA degree in 2004 by Trinity Southern University, Texas-based diploma mill.
Colby Nolan belongs to a deputy attorney general.
The Trinity Southern University had been suspected for fraud and therefore  some undercover agents had the six-year-old Colby Nolan obtain a bachelor’s degree in business administration for a mere $299.

On the cat’s application, the agents claimed that the cat had previously taken courses at a community college, worked at a fast-food restaurant, babysat, and maintained a newspaper route. Then the school informed Colby that, due to the job experience listed on his application, he was eligible for an executive MBA for $100 more. The agents then sent for Colby’s transcript, which claimed that Nolan had a 3.5 grade point average.
Jerry Pappert, Pennsylvania’s attorney general, filed a lawsuit against Trinity Southern University upon learning that the cat had received the degree. In the lawsuit, Pappert also told the diploma mill, which had used e-mail spam to sell degrees, to provide restitution to anyone who had ordered a degree from them.
