Kinda old news (a couple of weeks), but funny (although sad at the same time). It was discovered one of our politicians used a forged high school diploma to get into college (years ago). He finished college normally then. But now it came out he didn't even finish high school. So what can be done? University actually has no rules for this, it seems, as they have never (officially) encountered this problem.
What do you do with a guy who finished college without finishing high school?
One beer to rule them all.
One whiskey to find them.
One vodka to bring them all
and in the drunkness bind them!

Hehe, just like my father. But he didn't have to use a forged high school diploma to get in.

How did he manage that?

But well, if a college for some reason changes its politics and allows someone with improper education (whether it be non-existent or just from a "wrong" school) to attend, it's their business.

But in our case, this man bought a high school diploma (with forged signature) in another country and presented it in Slo college as an actual document. The college obviously didn't check the document, he was let in because of the forgery. Since they sign (I presume) a couple of thousand students per year, they rely on the document's authenticity by the signature of a notary. Well, that can be forged, or the notary can be payed off. I am sure cases of this happen every year, but have some sense and don't appear in politics then, ffs. Reporters tend to dig everything out.

And now, what kind of punishment is ok for him? He should be prosecuted for forgery, but can his college diploma be taken away, since it was gained illegally? Or does he just have to finish high school and then all is fine? No known procedure about that.

I vouch, his academic credentials at college should stand on their own. If he was bright enough to succeed in college despite not having a high school education, then more power to him. Naturally, the legal consequences of his forged document need to be pursued.

His parents were poor, so he couldn't attend to school, he had to work instead. Finally he finished elementary school in night-school when he was about 25. By that time he published tons of writings and he was considered to be a very talented guy, so he was allowed to sit for a university entrance examination.

Sending an adult person to high school is funny, so... yes, he should be sent to high school. Talking seriously I agree with Big Melkor.

By the way a few months ago it turned out that our President, Schmitt Pál, plagiarized his PhD thesis. Almost the whole thing. Most people think that he should resign, but he won't.

It seems like ever since Kar-Theodor zu Guttenberg was found gulity of plagiarizing his doctor thesis, politicians all over europe get busted for similar things. Fucking cheats, eh? ;)
