More questions are being raised about the mayor of Atlantic City, including a degree from the University of San Francisco.
Mayor Frank Gilliam is billed as having earned a master's degree in social work from the university, but no one at the school can verify Gilliam attended.
It comes just weeks after the FBI raided Gilliam's home and citizen complaints were filed against Gilliam for his role in a fight outside of a casino nightclub.
Three employees of Haven Nightclub have accused Gilliam, and Councilman Jeffree Fauntleroy, of assault and harassment.
Fauntleroy will enter his plea in court later today. 
Gilliam had his appearance postponed.
