Okay, this is pretty weird. I ran across an article about this guy who faked a career as a Special Ops consultant that mentioned he defrauded the University of Oregon about $45,000… my old school. I did a little looking around and found out he was at UO about when I was there. Weird.

BEND, OR — A former instructor at the University of Oregon has been accused of credentials fraud. William Hillar attended the UO for three years in the 1970s, according to court documents, but never actually earned a doctoral degree. That didnt stop the Maryland man from allegedly claiming to have a PHD from Oregon. Hillar taught seminars on human trafficking and international drug trafficking. He was paid more that $33,000 by the University between 2002 and last summer.
