A student in a University of Iowa master’s program was arrested on charges of forgery when the University learned that she had submitted a falsified transcript and forged letters as part of her application.
The student had altered her transcript from an undergraduate college to make it appear that she had received her degree, when she had in fact been several credits short of graduation.
