Navy résumé doesn't quite hold water
Questionable degrees raise doubts on vetting
By Russell Working
Chicago Tribune reporter
October 1, 2008
It was a stirring testimonial, but not entirely accurate. While Arthur's bachelor's and MD were legitimate, he has no master's. The PhD came from a university whose accreditation the federal government doesn't recognize. And the JD, or law degree, was granted by a diploma mill that collapsed after its president was imprisoned for fraud.....

Doctor who checks credentials faces
questions over his own resume | Philadelphia

Doctor who checks credentials faces questions over his own resume By Josh
Goldstein As chief medical officer of Main Line Health, Donald C. Arthur helps vet the credentials of 1,200 physicians working for the prosperous hospital network in Philadelphia's western suburbs. But the Navy's former surgeon general has long faced questions about the accuracy of his own resumé. At least four
official biographies have credited Arthur
with a nonexistent master's degree - one
that he agrees he never received..... Contact staff writer Josh Goldstein at 215-854-4733 or jgoldstein@phillynews.com

It is interesting to note the
section on Naval Code and Federal Laws was
deleted from the Wikipedia article because the
individual who made this revision on November
24, 2010 claimed:
'...This material is

you want, but it's not about Arthur...' :

Questionable degrees in documents sent to U.S. Senate in support of Donald Arthur's nomination to be Navy Surgeon General:
http://www.chicagotribune.com/media/acrobat/2008-10/42838415.pdf
These links contain documents VADM Arthur did submit to the Senate Armed Services Committee in support of promotions and permanent increases in his military retirement pension payments. The Chicago Tribune posted these documents after an alleged retired Navy IG erroneously claimed an investigation determined VADM Arthur never submitted documentation to the United States Senate Armed Services Committee claiming he had earned a PhD in Healthcare Management from Century University in 1992 and a Law degree (JD) from LaSalle University in 1993
