Some idiot moderator shut down an excellent thread discussing "Dr. Jill" so I figured I could put this information here, since we are discussing the "doctor" label. Jill's dissertation can be found here:

I provide the link - as I do basically for every objective fact I claim - to avoid being accused of misquoting the good doctor. Let's start with the first paragraph on the first page of "Dr. Jill's" dissertation, where she writes:
Uhh, the students' needs are "undeserved"? They don't deserve the needs they have? I guess if that need is one for a second Porsche to use cruising campus, it may be "undeserved."
Oh, she meant to write "underserved"? Well, here's a thought, Dr. Jill: Perhaps your dissertation could have less grammatical errors than my posts on Steeler Nation. Remember, that obvious error occurs in the FIRST PARAGRAPH and exists probably due to autocorrect.
The good doctor then writes:
Uhhh, doc, I believe the vast majority of college classrooms are filled with "young students who have just graduated high school." Does the good doctor believe that most college students failed to graduate high school? Or that they graduated and then waited some appreciable amount of time (two years or more) before attending college? Yeah, no, doc - even lethargic research would disprove that claim.
Wait, you just wrote that a class of 20 students at Delaware Tech (or DT, a condition caused when an alcoholic foregoes alcohol for a time) consisted mainly of recent high school graduates, and then immediately thereafter write that at least 8 of the students, perhaps more, are middle-aged men, GED recipients, and older women.
Are you trying to disprove yourself? Dr. Jill: "Most of the students are white. Specifically, sixteen of the thirty students are people of color."
The good doctor then writes:
Uhhh, Dr. Jill, you wrote, 3/4 + 1/4 + 1/20 + ? = 1
I read the first two pages and found those moronic errors. Look, I get that we can all make typographical mistakes, but the fundamental lack of reasoning on page 2 of the report is unforgivable. Moreover, the tenor and quality of the writing is grade-school level. For example, this paragraph:
Let me paraphrase: Good writing good, need teach good writing.
Genius.
The paper is what I would expect kids to write in high school. It really does not qualify as college-level analysis or quality, and certainly does not reach the level I would expect for a doctoral dissertation. I make that statement based on proofreading my daughter's junior thesis at Princeton and having written my own law review paper, and having edited at least 12 other law review articles.
