MIT Dean: I Padded My Résumé

Submitted by jerry hewes, Apr 27, 2007 21:37

The Marilee Jones deception is a good one. The biggest deceivers are those who think certified background is a prerequisite of ability and quality. If MIT can be fooled for 28 years or forever absent a snitch, what does it tell us about the meaningfulness of degrees? How does the record speak about all the lives sacrificed to a lesser existence simply because they are "not qualified?" Clearly our universities have an inflated view of their contributions to human existence.

Thank you Marilee Jones. It is only in a society as distorted as ours that you found it necessary to lie. Those in power would never have seen your value otherwise. I am sure you never lost sight of your actions. However, many others supposedly qualified were never able to see the truth of their educational madness as they apparently judged your performance very beneficial to the things we want. You are proof that quality does not originate where they would have us believe. This is a far greater deception than your supposed travesty.
