I was reminded of the flap over Jill Biden’s doctorate while watching NFL football some weeks ago as a commentator pointed out that “Dr. Jill Biden”(snip) was in attendance. It must be at her own insistence that she is given the public designation, and anyone who fails to applaud risks angry censure by the bien pensants.
The subject of “Dr. Jill” originally erupted even before her husband took office, when an opinion piece by the essayist Joseph Epstein called on her in December, 2020 to “drop the doc.” Epstein’s “Is There a Doctor in the White House? Not if you Need an M.D,” appearing in the Wall Street Journal,

The most interesting thing about her dissertation (cough, cough) is that the examining committee approved it and awarded her a doctorate. What does that say about the caliber of the committee? (Draw your own conclusions here…)

Not to mention that the discussion rechead its nadir when the beyond ignorant Karen "Whoopi" Johnson declared that Jill would make an excellent Surgeon General because she's a helluva doctor.

Years ago I had to write a computer logon for a new employee. I wrote it with her name and office, just like everyone else. She asked if I could add DOCTOR before her name (Her doctorate was in environmental engineering or something like that). I told her it was no problem, I could make her an astronaut if she wanted. The fake smile disappeared fast. Turns out she was mighty impressed with herself and reminded people of that doctorate at every opportunity.

I read the dissertation. It's a bunch of quotes about how the community college can keep adult students interested in completing community college. It looked like something a high school student would throw together the day before the paper was due. Typing/spelling/grammar errors add to the nonsense.
(How much federal money did the UDelaware get after Jill received her doctorate? Quid quo pro?)

I can’t get this article to load for some reason, but I will say this - I tried to read Jill’s dissertation but could only get through a couple of pages. There is a grammatical error on the very first page in which she doesn’t manage to get a noun and verb to match up correctly. Clearly, the only reason she passed is because her husband was a US senator.
I know a woman who has a PhD in Feminist Studies and she also insists on being addressed as “Doctor”. Imagine eye roll emoji here.

Dr Jill's quote "“Together, we will build a world .. Blah, blah..
Whenever someone starts a statement with 'Together', put you wading boots on, It's going to pour.

Biden isn't even a Ph.D.
She has an Ed.D. Which is WAY lower on the academic totem pole.

Of course you can't rule out the possibility that her dissertation was actually written by Joe Joe the Dogface Boy.

I worked with several people with a PhD in engineering. None of them asked to be addressed as "doctor." If they had, they'd been laughed at.

Long, long ago -- before the world went nuts -- I had the good fortune to attend grad school at an Ivy League university. There, even teaching assistants had Ph.D.'s, and they went by Mr./Mrs./Ms., and the professors went by Professor. That was the big deal -- to be a tenured professor, NOT a Ph.D. Her defenders (except Whoopi, who knows nothing) are all aware of this but lie about it because that is what they do.

She, Dr. Jill, is Edith Wilson incarnate. Enough said. No one elected her. She came to DC on Joey Baby's lap. I would rather call Rand Paul, Dr. Paul, instead of calling Jill Jacobs-Biden (yes she used that name on her Ph.D dissertation) Dr. Jill. She is just as dangerous as Mrs. Wilson.

I recall that a few years ago, Whoopi Goldberg on "The View", announced that Dr. Jill Biden was an outstanding physician.
Yepper. There sure are some really smart people on The View.

My opinion? Great article. Empathy for the author who had to plow through and annotate Jill's 79 page travesty.
My reaction? Jill Biden--whatta maroon.

My son in law has a Ph.D. He's a chemical engineer and would smack me up alongside my head if I called him Dr. (He wouldn't really hit me but would give me the old stink eye.)

There is one very valuable and useful bit of info...right on the title page! It is now possible to differentiate between *JB and *JJ-B

Let’s not be too harsh here. There is a lot of difference between a D.Ed and a PhD in Ed. The former is a professional program (kinda like “the plumbing doctors” ) while the latter is much more a rigorous research program. Med doctors are also (generally) professional degrees

This is about our real ruler Dr. Jill. Finding it entioned and linked at aother article, I had to post this. The fraudulent Dr. Jill with her drowned-rat looking faux Farrah do and her hard face is far from a favorite of mine. This is a great read..
