Loss of College Degree, Because of a Picture

Filed in archive Work, School, Life by Linda Roeder on May 11, 2007

This is the sort of thing that makes me angry. This poor girl worked hard, took all her classes and earned her degree. When the time came to get her degree from millersville university of Pennsylvania they denied it to her based on a picture she posted on her own personal Web site.

"university officials found a picture of Snyder sipping from a plastic cup and wearing a pirate cap. Beneath the picture were the words: "Drunken Pirate." The results were life-changing." ~Online Universities Weblog (apr 30)

This is just wrong. If she took the classes and earned the credits then there's no way the college should have the right to deny her the degree she earned just because of a picture. A harmless picture at that. What people do outside of school or work shouldn't have an bearing on their ability to succeed.

due to a picture she lost a degree. what right these officials have on this. she didnt study for free right? she paid her fees and studied so i say she has to be given degree certificate. not only that why do these officials have to look into her personal life. newspapers and public should look into this matter.
