Ohio State should loose their accreditation [for giving a PhD to Georgia Purdom in molecular genetics ].

No, that’s too much. A PhD should be given on the merits of the thesis. Remember “A Beautiful Mind”? Just because someone goes insane (and even antiSemitic in Nash’s case) can’t be held against the original work of scholarship.

If Purdom had written a bushel of lies, then Ohio has the right to revoke the PhD; but I haven’t heard that Purdom’s thesis was fraudulent.
