MIT Dean of Admissions Resigns in Lying Scandal
Billosaur writes "CNN has a report that the Dean of Admissions at MIT has resigned her post after admitting to lying about her academic record. 'Marilee Jones, who joined the staff of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in 1979 to lead the recruitment of women at the university, stepped down from her post after admitting that she had misrepresented her academic degrees to the institute, according to a statement posted on MIT's Web site.' The school had recently received information about her credentials and the subsequent investigation uncovered the misrepresentations. Question is, why did it take 28 years?"
Recruiters keep telling me I'm under qualified. I was starting to believe them, and here all along I'm just as qualified as the big shots. I just don't lie as well.
Maybe she can become a contributor to Wikipedia?
The GGP's statement was the opposite of ironic. It'd be ironic if the definition of irony changed to something that is expected.
As a Medical Doctor, Practicing Criminal Lawyer, Professor of Cosmology, Licensed Elevator Inspector Life Guard, and offical Breast Examiner; I am truely shocked that someone would misrepresent themselves in such a fashion.

Good, bad, I dunno ... but her daughter is rather attractive.
The higher the technology, the sharper that two-edged sword.
She could go and work at Wikipedia!

You know, there is a difference between trolling and pointing out the flaws in your reasoning. Just saying.
Perhaps you missed a comma, or perhaps you've invented the most thankless job ever: sitting on top of the elevator as it gently rises and falls, waiting to dive underneath it to save some hapless licensed elevator inspector who happens to slip and fall below.
I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say you don't have a university degree...
Yeah, but we have natural selection to deal with those people.
Richard Stallman said that this won't happen again if MIT licenses their degrees under the new GPLv3.
In Soviet MIT, resume terminates YOU!
When asked to comment, the former Dean said "Only old Koreans need resumes."
Then Netcraft confirmed it - "MIT Dean of Admissions dying ..."
SCO announced they'll sue both the former dean and MIT for violation of their "Intellectual Property" - specifically, "method and procedure to obtain money you don't have the paperwork for", citing their lawsuits against Novell and IBM even though SCO doesn't have the copyrights to Unix, or any documented proof. BF&S took the lawsuit - fees are capped at $2.47 or SCO's net worth, whichever is greater.
Fox is making a movie of the week about the whole scandal - they're trying to get Nathalie Portman to do the "younger Dean of Admissions" with hot grits
When told the news, Steve Ballmer misunderstood, and thought that MIT had been bought by Google. "I'll f*cking bury them! I've buried better schools than MIT!" New chairs have been ordered.
The Department of Homeland Security raised the threat level to red, and sent Immigration to arrest the former Dean. "We heard she's an undocumented worker; she's obviously a long-term mole, probably from the former Soviet Union, if she's been there for 28 years. We're working now to see which terrorist organisation she's currently aligned with."
