Bureaucracy Club: On-paper excellence endures 28 years

SecretLife.jpgMarilee Jones, MIT’s dean of admissions who has spoken out nationally against the craze over beefing up teens’ resumes, has resigned after 28 years at the school for misrepresenting her academic degrees, university officials said today.

Jones listed on her resume that she had degrees from Albany Medical College, Union College, and Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, but she had no degrees from any of those schools, said MIT chancellor Phillip Clay.

So says an April 26, 2007 Boston Globe report. The Bureaucracy Club takes note.

Ps. Some Bureaucracy Club members recommend “The Secret Life of Marilee Jones.”
