A delightful story: Marilee Jones
By yaman | April 28, 2007
Marilee Jones, the former Dean of Admissions at MIT, could not have been a more perfect embodiment of her own beliefs. Disregarding all the judgment that has been passed on her old decision to lie about her credentials, you have to admit: is there a more perfect way to illustrate the lack of importance of a college degree than to become the dean of admissions of a prestigious university? I don’t think it is correct to say that her little lie has been exposed. If anything, her lie exposed the rest.

I agree 100%.
The University of Tennessee’s Lady Vols just won their 7th national championship under Coach Pat Head Summitt. Summitt is the all-time winningest coach in NCAA basketball history (men or women). For the sake of argument, let’s say that Pat Head Summitt never actually graduated from UT-Martin, as it says she did on her resume — when one can even find it.
And what would the fans do now if UT forced her to resign over it?
