Scotland’s Largest Education Institute Appoints Vice Principal with No Verifiable Degrees

The recent selection of Alan Mackay as Deputy Vice Principal at Scotland’s biggest college has sparked controversy over his academic credentials. His profile lists an undergraduate degree and a postgraduate diploma, yet it fails to specify the awarding universities. There is no public record of where he earned these qualifications. Mackay also claims to be a “Harvard alumnus” after completing an eight-day executive course—paid for by Scottish taxpayers. Students, by contrast, must present full transcripts and certified certificates. This discrepancy raises questions about accountability and transparency in senior management. Clear proof of qualifications should be a non-negotiable requirement for educational leadership.
