Yahoo CEO Wrongly Claimed To Have Degree In Computer Science

Posted by samzenpus on from the was-that-wrong? dept.

jmcbain writes "Scott Thompson, Yahoo!'s CEO who was hired on January 4 of this year, was found to have lied about his CS degree from Stone Hill College. Investigation from an activist shareholder revealed that his degree was actually in accounting, and apparently Thompson had been going with this lie since the time he served as president of PayPal's payments unit."
