I don't know. He took a very long time to get that two year degree from a very low-tier institution. It took him more than twice as long as it should have.
I think everyone, including Indy, was quite surprised that UL finally decided to give him a degree. And a point in support of this is the fact that Indy still frequently mentions the silly diploma every chance he gets (over a decade after receiving it), as if it were a huge intellectual feat to get a degree in a non-technical field from a non-competitive university.

This has zero relevance to the discussion.

He has a real MA from a real accredited university with a French department that is world famous because of Louisiana French. Not sure where you got your facts from.

Accreditation means very little. The University of Phoenix is accredited.
UL is not world famous for anything other than being a diploma mill.
French hasn't actively been spoken in Louisiana for two centuries. Vietnamese is more widely spoken in Louisiana than French. The "French culture" of Louisiana is nothing more than cosplay. It's just like all those towns and counties in the mid-west that use Indigenous names. Yet you'll find no one in sight that can speak the language from which those names are derived.

You are quite wrong. Many people in Louisiana speak French every day. Also, the UL French department is famous, and offers the only graduate degree in Francophone Studies in the US. Where did you get your facts?
> Many people in Louisiana speak French every day.
And many more speak Vietnamese and even more speak Spanish, and of course the vast majority only speak English. Yet Vietnamese, Spanish, and English culture aren't popular to cosplay as, so idiots like Indy ignore all that and pretend French culture has any relevance in modern Louisiana.
> Also, the UL French department is famous
Citation needed.
> offers the only graduate degree in Francophone Studies in the US.
Whoop-dee-fuckin-do.

New Orleans is Creole, not Cajun. Many people speak Cajun French in southwest Louisiana, especially in rural communities. Hell, I live there and I speak it every day.

It's interesting that with his degree in French literature from his "world famous" university, Indy was only able to land a job teaching English in a third world country.
> I speak Cajun French every day in normal circumstances.
I have family in your parish, dude. I know what it's like there. You go into any store or talk to anyone on the street in Cajun French, they will not know what you're saying. You'd have better luck speaking to them in Vietnamese. Or better Spanish. Or, realistically, plain old American English.

It is not uncommon to study for a Master's degree part-time.

Higher education is always a worthwhile goal, regardless of the field of study.
> UL is not world famous for anything other than being a diploma mill.
The University of Louisiana is fully accredited, meaning that Matthew's thesis must have been peer reviewed. Had it been sub-par, he would not have been awarded a Master's degree.

You seem openly contemptuous of learning and education in general. What is your level of education and how much of the world have you seen first-hand?

Perhaps you should enroll at an accredited university and spend at least six years of intensive study (graduate, honors & post-graduate) to find out. As stated above, pursuing an education is always a worthwhile goal.

His animosity towards learning would indicate as much. A few of his remarks might also suggest rampant xenophobia, a sure sign of ignorance, poor education and moral bankruptcy.
> Higher education is always a worthwhile goal, regardless of the field of study.
If you have a reason for believing this, I'm willing to hear it, but this is something I do not accept at face value.
> The University of Louisiana is fully accredited, meaning that Matthew's thesis must have been peer reviewed. Had it been sub-par, he would not have been awarded a Master's degree.
So is the University of Phoenix. Master's degrees are not peer reviewed in any conventional sense. Most of the time they are only read in full by the person that wrote them. Even at far more prestigious institutions than UL (i.e., almost every university), advisors often do not read student theses. The academic world runs on papers and if Matt did not publish one, I can guarantee you his work was not peer reviewed in any meaningful way.

Dear Readers,
I want to take a moment to apologize for lying about my use of AI in my novels. My name is Indy, and I'm writing this message to you to address the recent controversy surrounding my work.
I know that I let you down, and I'm deeply sorry for that. I understand that my actions were deceptive and dishonest, and for that, I take full responsibility. I want to assure you that the novels I've written were not generated by AI, and any claims to the contrary were completely false.
I understand that trust is essential between authors and their readers, and I regret violating that trust. As an author, I should have been more transparent and forthcoming about my creative process, and for that, I apologize.
I want to make it clear that this message is coming from the legitimate Indy, and anyone claiming otherwise is an imposter. I want to assure my readers that I'm committed to regaining their trust and writing stories that are honest, authentic, and engaging.
Thank you for taking the time to read this message. I hope that you can forgive me for my mistakes and continue to enjoy my work. Looks like Indy wins again.
