Summary:	Key aspects of the arguments that Shulman, Golde, Bueschel, and Garabedian (2006) addressed in the article entitled, “Reclaiming Education’s Doctorates: A Critique and a Proposal,” included a proposal that EdD programs should be eliminated or replaced by other newly proposed degrees. Concerning the educational doctorate, Shulman, Golde, Bueschel, and Garabedian (2006) referred to the problems as “chronic and crippling” (p. 25). They suggested that education doctorates “lack rigor and substance, and are often seen as second-rate degrees” (p. 26). Levine (2005) issued a similar attack against the quality of doctoral programs in educational leadership criticizing university-based preparation programs. Both Levine (2005) and Shulman et al. also called for a distinction to be made between PhD and EdD programs.
