Barker also got into college teaching 40 years ago when

there wasn't such an emphasis for professors to have a PhD. Today, you wouldn't get a sniff from any self-respecting college/university without a PhD.

According to his CV


Dec 6, 2012, 3:07 PM

he holds 3 honorary doctorates. 1 in Education and 2 in Humane Letters (whatever that means).

It's true that he hasn't actually completed a doctoral program though.

The degree of Doctor of Humane Letters


Dec 6, 2012, 3:14 PM [ in reply to According to his CV ]

is always conferred as an honorary degree, usually to those who have distinguished themselves in areas other than science, government, literature or religion, and should not be confused with earned academic degrees awarded on the basis of research

Sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.


Better than a Doctor of Inhumane Letters.***

Dec 6, 2012, 3:20 PM

He was really good. Stuck around to talk to people for a while too.

Come on BigCU.... are you an actual fan of our university?

Or do you just need a football team to follow?

Brother, Clemson is in my blood....


Dec 6, 2012, 3:45 PM

My grandfather was a 1924 graduate of Clemson A&M College and a charter member of IPTAY

Someone in my family (my grandfather, my father or me) has been an IPTAY member since the organization's inception

I earned two degree from Clemson (BS and MBA)

I am also a member of the Tiger Letterman Association playing soccer from 81 to 85.

I also worked with the team as a Grad Assistant from 86 to 88.

My oldest daughter is currently a freshman at Clemson.

That said.....


Dec 6, 2012, 3:53 PM

my love for and loyalty to Clemson will not keep me from speaking out when there are areas of concern or issues of mismanagement by the school administrators. In fact, I consider it my responsibility.

Good to know, hadn't heard of that one


Dec 6, 2012, 4:01 PM [ in reply to The degree of Doctor of Humane Letters ]

I know Clemson gave out an honorary doctorate in humanities at last spring's graduation, guess that's sort of the same thing.
