Claim
University of Alberta (EdD)
Correction

Robert J. Carney’s University of Alberta doctorate was a PhD, not an EdD.

Full reasoning

University of Alberta records list Robert J. Carney as holding a PhD from the University of Alberta, not an EdD. In the university’s archived staff listings, he appears as “Carney, Robert, BA MEd (UBC), PhD (Alberta), Professor Emeritus of Educational Foundations.” A later University of Alberta calendar likewise gives his credentials as BA, DipTch, MEd, and PHD (U of Alberta, 1971). His Globe and Mail obituary also describes him as “Robert James PH.D.” Together, these sources directly contradict the infobox claim that his University of Alberta degree was an EdD.

Claim
Doctor of Education from the University of Alberta
Correction

Carney’s University of Alberta doctorate was a PhD, not a Doctor of Education.

Full reasoning

This sentence misstates Robert J. Carney’s terminal degree. University of Alberta archival staff listings identify him as holding a PhD (Alberta), not an EdD. The university’s emeritus listing also records him with a PhD. His Globe and Mail obituary likewise refers to him as “Robert James PH.D.” These sources directly contradict the claim that he received a Doctor of Education from the University of Alberta.
