Academia Insider (Andy Stapleton)

Andy Stapleton of Academia Insider provides a great public service to consumers by exposing the social realities of graduate school education. These YouTube videos should serve as an antidote to the College Mania! that persists in our society and pervades our popular culture--helping higher education consumers become more conscious of their most significant (and costly) life choices.

This YouTube video shows the bottom of the barrel, fake PhD's from diploma mills.  It's not something that has gotten much media attention, but it looks like a problem, especially for employers doing their due diligence in hiring. 


Stapleton provides many other videos that cover a variety of topics: from grad school applications to finding work after graduate school.
