Dvorak is an idiot. He wants some hardcore “tech phd” to be CIO and understand how to work the government and get things done in that bureaucratic environment. These Dvorak type guys sit around in their boxers in their homes bored out of their mind and write negative bullshit all the time that does absolutely no good for anyone. Vivek is a great balance of someone that understands politics, government, and technology and is a big advocate of moving the government to a place where technology is better utilized and will eventually save tons of money. Give Vivek and Aneesh a chance and judge them after 4 yrs. If Dvorack is so hellbent on how Vivek is a phony, then what has the previous round of tech executives in the govt. accomplished over the last 20yrs?

What’s genuinely concerning about the Tories (so they say) not knowing that Andy Coulson was still being paid by News International (read; spy for Murdoch) when he was hired by David Cameron to work at No 10 Downing Street is that he could have been being paid by anybody, Russia, Iran, um, Labour, anybody at all! Aren’t these people supposed to be securely vetted before they can work adjacent to a high-level security environment? It would be nice to see that absurd stuffed shirt Cameron get some serious criticism over this but beyond that it’s just not funny…

i might not have supposed this was handy two or three years back then again its crazy precisely how time alters the manner in which you experience diverse creative ideas, many thanks with regard to the write-up it is actually pleasing to look over anything intelligent occasionally in lieu of the basic garbage mascarading as blogs on the internet

When we look back at the Obama tenure, we would see that all were phonies. Only we won’t get the chance. Obama would become the Fidel Castro of (New Madrid Fault Line ripped) US.

Obama promised transparency in his government…if Dvorak found something amiss, I’d THINK that Obama would welcome this, and so would his cabinet and appointees. I find the whole “rush to criticize Dvorak” to be insanely stupid and childlike. He was calling crap when he saw it..and it turns out the IT resume was tweaked (i.e. lied, misled, and inflated). Haven’t we all had enough of this bullshit?
Hello…bank fiascos, economy crash, dot com bust, lying government, institutions screwing us, predatory corporations…..it’s all based on lying and pushing the other guy aside to get yours.
So, one guy says “hey, something is amiss” and you jump all over him instead of looking deeper and saying “yeah, let’s use our bigger brains here” and do some real thinking.
Dvorak wasn’t just voicing his opinion. Too bad all you’re doing is voicing apologies, excuses, and justifications. Our country is in a sorry state….

I’ve seen all of the phony degrees I need to.. A fake is a fake.. What do they say? Cash talks, BS walks? I hired a guy with more paperwork than a government loan app. Turns out, he worked in the training center and stole all the paper.. He didn’t know squat.. Some things never change..

I have several bogus degrees. The degree I’m most proud of is the one for Professional Baseball Referee which was conveyed upon me by Perkins School for the Deaf and Blind. This is the school that Helen Keller attended.

I worked for Kundra during his rather short stint as Director of Network Services for the Arlington Co. Gov’t. He’s not a technical guy, reminded me more of a Dilbert sort of office. Lots of buzzwords but not a lot of substance. I’m not saying he was a bad manager though, we successfully launched some big initiatives.

He’s just the typical ladder-climbing bureaucrat looking to get in with the “elite crowd”. Seems it worked. I can’t comment on his college stuff though. It’s amazing how fast he’s moved up though…

Academic Fraud at a New Jersey State University

1998: A ten-year “no-show” New Jersey City University (NJCU) professor is reported to the New Jersey Inspector General (confirmed in 2001*)

1999: NJCU President Carlos Hernandez’s use of fraudulent academic credentials of confirmed* by the New Jersey Commission of Higher Education (CHE).

2000: President Hernandez and NJCU Professor Yaworsky are appointed to the Governor’s Education Commission (both have used fraudulent academic credentials).

2001: Star-Ledger columnist Mulshine writes four columns* about fraud at NJCU.

2006: The CHE for the second time confirms* that President Hernandez used a fraudulent academic degree.

2007: The NJCU Board of Trustees hires a former New Jersey Deputy Attorney General and assigns him to work in President Hernandez’s Office.

2007: The New Jersey Attorney General charges me with having violated the civil rights of one of my colleagues (who had married a 12-year-old child while conducting “research”) The NJCU Union refuses to defend me against this charge (which was clearly initiated by President Hernandez).

2008: The CHE writes a third letter* acknowledging that President Hernandez used fraudulent academic credentials.

2008: A $10,000 reward is promised to anyone who can provide evidence that President Hernandez did not commit fraud to become NJCU’s president (this offer is still good).

2008: President Hernandez hires “Ethics Point” enabling NJCU employees to submit evidence of fraud at NJCU – any such reports are sent to, and evaluated by, President Hernandez.

2008: Due to a hostile work environment, I retire in July 2008.

2008: The NJCU Board of Trustees passes a resolution* expressing the opinion that “fraud isn’t fraud – unless the NJCU Board of Trustees says that it is.”

2009: Star-Ledger education reporter, Bob Braun, finally (after ten years) admits* that President Hernandez used a non-existent academic degree to become NJCU’s president.

2009: The NJ Attorney General continues to investigate me because I had objected to a 40-year-old colleague for having “married” his 12-year-old research subject.

2010: Both NJCU President Hernendez and NJCU Professor Yaworsky are still members of the Governor’s Education Commission (see NJCU’s web-site). Governor Corzine refused to remove them; what Governor Christie will do remains to be seen. (Yaworsky has used up his “sick leave” while having lived for the past three years in Colorado — and when he does teach, he teaches “on-line” from Colorado.)

* Original documents available upon request (see below)

To review the outline for the book (or article) being prepared on this subject: Google: “Fraud at New Jersey City University”

To read a story (August 2009) dealing with my being investigated by the NJ Attorney General: Google: “Kenneth Good” then “Images of Kenneth Good” then the picture of Good and his bride.

Mr. Dvorak. thansk for shedding light on the fraud Kundra…not only a convicted thief but nothing between the ears. He could not be effective as Dc gov cio. It all staged…no way he could start a company….all smoke and mirrors. This is purely a political appt. He is a fast talker bu when pressed, he folds as he really does not know S***. We hope the media picks this up and gets fully exposed for what he is – A HUGH FRAUD.

#96, 104, 109, 113, 140, etc. commenting that UMUC is not the same as UM College Park:

While the campus is different and may be considered less prestigious, the diploma that degree recipients from all UM campuses most likely does not list the campus the graduate attended on the degree. It likely says “University of Maryland”, not “University of Maryland University College”. The University of Tennessee makes no distinction between the main campus (Knoxville) and other campuses (whether it be Chattanooga, Martin, Tullahoma, or Memphis) upon conferral of the degree. While many academics may consider it misleading not to mention the specific campus of the university an individual attended, the degree holder is not falsely representing themselves if their own diploma, granted by the institution itself, does not make distinction as to the campus attended.

Hope that helps to clarify for you!
