Ali Kordan is an Iranian conservative politician who was the interior minister of Iran for 90 days! Kordan claimed to have an honorary doctorate in law from Oxford University. However his academic qualifications and doctorate have been widely questioned by Iranian parliament members and the media so Kordan later released a copy of his degree showing an Honorary Doctorate of Law Degree that was conferred on him in June 2000 and was under-signed by three Oxford University professors.The University of Oxford published an official statement on its website that they have no record of Mr Ali Kordan receiving an honorary doctorate or any other degree.It noted that none of the professors whose alleged signatures were on the certificate were working in the field of law, and none of them would sign degree certificates.Finally On Tuesday November 4, 2008, the Iranian parliament voted to sack Interior Minister Ali Kordan for lying about his credentials and presenting a fake degree from Oxford University.
