[aol.com] Dozens of scientists from universities and environmental groups are pushing for the removal of the head of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, claiming she lacks the educational background required to run the agency despite securing Senate confirmation last year.| Why are these 100 scientists such snobs? Ms Williams grew up on a farm, specializes in environmental law, and served for three years as director of Montana’s Fish, Wildlife and Parks department, which altogether sound like exactly the credentials and experiences a federal bureaucrat ought to have. |
"100 scientists"? Sounds Consensusyâ„¢
Williams is an attorney who majored in philosophy, and her critics claim she does not have the science-based education that federal law says is required for the position. Government attorneys have rejected allegations she's not credentialed, but they have not disputed her lack of a science degree.
