There are meeting minutes floating around from Millcreek where execution of his contract was held up awaiting proof of his doctorate (which he didn't have at that time he apparently got one later from an online university), as well as an FBI check. The minutes discuss an alternate path to executing the contract, which would give him 90 days to provide the doctorate certification and the FBI check.

So, they either didn't follow up on the doctorate, or he managed to provide something that looked good enough for them to accept.

He also claimed that he attended MIT and that George Washington University named him DC Principal of the Year in 2013...both MIT and GWU say that's untrue.
