Bourghibe,

I could not find record of doctoral work by Ajaratou  Njie Saidy. Do  you 
know 
if it was an honorary doctorate? I am  informed she spent ONE month  at the 
univ. college of Swansea for an  MSc. in Econ. I have to figure out  how to 
do a 
masters in a month or  maybe her prior experience of 5 months at  the 
Research 
Institute in  the Netherlands in Industrial Mgmt. was accorded  credit toward 
the  masters. I have to find that out too I guess. I was also  informed she  
spent 2 months at the univ. of the Phillipines for a  certificate in  small 
scale 
ind inf. mgmt. I will call St. Mary's College in   Maryland to ascertain 
doctoral work. If you mean St. Mary's Univ. in  Halifax or  The Gambia Univ., 
please 
let me know when you're  able.



I spoke with St. Mary's College in Maryland. They are a 4-year Liberal Arts  
College. They do not confer Master's or Doctorate degrees. They did however  
inform me that The President of Gambia had given a speech there once and that a 
 Professor of Anthropology, Bill Roberts who handles an exchange program with 
 Gambia may have conferred or recommended an honorary doctorate on Ajaratou  
Isatou Njie Saidy. I was informed that Bill Roberts is not associated with the 
 College President's office or the administration of the College. Therefore, 
when  he confers honorary degrees, which he may do because he is a private 
individual,  It does not go in the Alumni Records or The Registrar's Records 
unless the  College itself acknowledges such honor. I have a feeling this may be a 
case of  an over-zealous professor given to pomp and pageantry.
 
It is no wonder H.E. Ajaratou Njie Saidy does not mention this honour on  her 
CV.
 
I could try to reach Bill Roberts and hope to catch him when he's not  
teaching a class but for my purposes that will not afford any more value. So  
Bourghibe do you mean another St. Mary's College, Saint Mary's Univ., or The  Gambia 
University?
