A spokesman for the American Association of University Professors said it is “virtually unheard of” for a student to be awarded a Ph.D. in that amount of time.
UofL’s own rules say that to earn a doctorate, “at least two years of study must be spent” at the university, including at least one in “full-time residency.”
