PHILADELPHIA - A former dean of Temple University’s business school was sentenced Friday to a year and two months in prison in a scheme to falsely boost the school’s rankings.Moshe Porat, 75, was first convicted in November of federal conspiracy and wire fraud charges.Prosecutors have said he boosted the university’s online MBA program to the top spot on the U.S.

News & World Report rankings for four years in a row. With help from two subordinates, who are also charged, they said Porat submitted false information about student test scores, work experience and other data.The elevated rankings helped the university draw more students and vastly increased the Fox School of Business’ revenue under Porat’s tenure.In a statement issued Friday, Temple said it respects "the justice system and the judge’s sentencing decision."An attorney for Porat, Michael A.

Schwartz, had argued at trial that although made mistakes, Porat did not commit a crime.MORE LOCAL HEADLINES___DOWNLOAD: FOX 29 NEWS APP | FOX 29 WEATHER AUTHORITY APPSUBSCRIBE: Good Day Digest Newsletter | FOX 29 Philly on YouTubeAdvertisementFOLLOW: Facebook | Instagram | Twitter.
