Education

Good Job Graduating. Just Kidding.

August 22, 2007 02:09 PM ET | Alison Go | Permanent Link

Forget lead paint and poison dog food, the University of North Carolina is recalling almost 2,000 defective diplomas from alumni who graduated in the spring, the Daily Tar Heel writes. According to their diplomas, students from the College of Arts and Sciences were governed by Madeline Levine, "Dean of the Professional School." Except they're not in the professional school. Actually, there is no professional school. Oops.

The registrar cryptically admits the scale of the problem: "This was a fairly small mistake, but it was a large error." —Alison Go
