Arbitrator rules against teachers with phony master's degrees BILLINGS An arbitrator says two teachers who received master's degree from a diploma mill must take salary cuts, and return extra pay given to them based on the advanced degree. In 1999, Beverly Henckel and Candice Holzer of Canyon Creek School in Billings received master's degrees from the online Columbus University. The teachers received their degrees in fewer than six months. The university is not recognized by accreditation agencies. Other staff members questioned the degrees and Superintendent Stepanie Long demanded the teachers return 37-thousand dollars. Trustees also reduced their pay. The teachers filed a grievance with the Montana Education Association, leading to an arbitrator's hearing in January. During the hearing, the teachers said they did not know the degrees were not legitimate. However, they said they did no coursework, did not correspond with any instructors, took no exams and wrote no theses. Copyright 2006 Associated Press. All rights reserved.
