The Chronicle: A Ph.D. in Insurrection
Thai Protesters Offer $3 Doctorates
Where else can you earn a Ph.D. for helping to overthrow a democratically elected government?
For the past few weeks, at a makeshift tent on the grounds of Thailand’s Government House, a degree in political reform from Ratchadamnoen University has been for sale for just $3. True, this university — named for the road where rallies were held to demand that Thailand’s prime minister step down — isn’t exactly accredited. Nor is the “curriculum to rescue the nation” from the “puppet government,” as the certificate declares, approved by education officials. But organizers say that protesters are getting a hands-on political education available nowhere else.
