French professor investigated for awarding himself fake prize

https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c4g8pwjdp6do

"A French academic is under investigation for inventing a Nobel-style prize for philology in order that he could then go on to win it."

 

The more interesting part of the story to me:

Lewes, DE: Population 3,300. Mentioned here: https://www.insop.org/Contacts/ and here https://www.insop.org/Gold-Medal-of-Philology/

They list honorees going back to 1967!

This store lists several books published by a publisher claiming to be located there: Librairie Mollat Bordeaux - Publisher - University of philology and education-Delaware

 

Anyone else have the DegreeInfo Gold Medal of Educational Excellence

I thought I recognized YOU.

 

I missed that one but I got the Charcoal Medallion of Do Nothing Mediocrity!

 

Publisher's Clearing House told me I may already be a winner.

 

Finally a winner!

 

Lewes has a nice beach! Cute little town too, indirectly touching France via the waters of the Atlantic Ocean.
