Over in Texas they’ve just told the religious Institute of Creation Research they can’t offer a masters of science degree in science education. Meanwhile, in the UK, we’re busily dishing out degrees in a whole host of strange and rather unscientific subjects.
The Texas case has been building for a while. Apparently the state’s commissioner of higher education thought the ICR failed to show their degree met “acceptable standards of science and science education”. Even better, or worse depending on your outlook, it was “inconsistent with ... rules which require the accurate labelling or designation of programs”.
Which is a nice way of saying it wasn’t science.
