Talk:Athol Williams

There is no evidence this person was ever awarded degrees from Harvard or MIT let alone attended these institutions. His claim that he attends this institution is fallacious and violates the hard work and rights of alumni and faculty of these universities. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.76.8.10 (talk) 15:17, 12 December 2015 (UTC)
 * In the litnet interview with Janet van Eeden Williams claims he has these qualifications, I know that is not independent proof. Should we remove his section on education until there is independent verification? Wayne Jayes (talk) 03:58, 13 December 2015 (UTC)

You've adopted quite an aggressive stance which is unfortunate. I have found sources for the university degrees and posted them to you. Doinggreatthings (talk) 22:17, 14 December 2015 (UTC)

Here is the evidence I've found from Harvard and LSE websites acknowledging that he has degrees from these institutions, and a press release from Bain & Co giving his academic credential including the degree from MITDoinggreatthings (talk) 22:21, 14 December 2015 (UTC)

Athol Williams is listed on the following Harvard website as having an MPA from Harvard Kennedy School (HKS) and from MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) not Michigan as you state. http://www.hks.harvard.edu/centers/mrcbg/programs/csri/scholars-practitioners-network/private-sector

Here is a press release from US-based Bain & Co announcing Williams joining their firm in South Africa - it says he has an MBA from the MIT Sloan School of Management http://www.bain.com/about/press/press-releases/bain--company-expands-management-team-in-south.aspx — Preceding unsigned comment added by Doinggreatthings (talk • contribs) 21:59, 14 December 2015 (UTC)

Here is a publication from London School of Economics showing that Williams earned a degree there - see p107 and even won a prize - see p129 http://www.lse.ac.uk/aboutLSE/keyFacts/LSEDigest/pdf/LSEDigest13-14version8May.pdf — Preceding unsigned comment added by Doinggreatthings (talk • contribs) 22:12, 14 December 2015 (UTC)
