Diplomagate

11th District Assembly members Mary Pat Angelini and Dave Rible have sponsored legislation that, if passed, will prohibited boards of education from paying for tuition from unaccredited universities diploma mills.

The Republican Assembly members cited the recent raises given to Freehold Regional School District Superintendent H. James Wasser, and one current and one former district administrator as reason for the legislation.

Marlboro resident Jim Sage, who first raised this issue, told MoreMonmouthMusings that public outrage over this scandal "is fast becoming a runaway snowball, picking up speed, momentum and size."

Sage said that the Freehold Regional staff is "circling the wagons and adopting a siege mentality."

The Freehold Regional board next meeting is on July 28 in Englishtown. Sage expects a large crowd calling for the resignations of Mr. Wasser and his fellow scholars.
