I guess they want them to start spelling people’s names correctly.

    Pretty sure this is a situation where you can just lie with impunity. Is sbucks gonna call up a college and demand records of your fake degree in egyptology?

      Background checks include education verification. The service they use would do this. Most employers do this.

      Pretty sure they automate it. I know Spotify uses an API to verify your enrollment in college. I’d bet they could do the same for degree verification.

        Spotify? They need to verify that you went to college before letting you listen to music?

          Ha! Sorry, I should’ve expanded on that… they have a student tier that’s discounted, and they use an automated service to verify you’re a legit student.
