Marilee Jones, 55, originally from Albany, had on various occasions represented herself as having degrees from three institutions: Albany Medical College, Union College and Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. In fact, she had no degrees from any of those places, or anywhere else, MIT officials said.
I continue to be amazed at the attitudes that come out when something like this happens.
"something she did long ago came back and trumped [the good she did]” said Leslie Perelman, director of the program in writing and humanistic studies
No, it's not someTHING she did "long ago." It's a pattern of lies stretching across 28 years. Every time she signed a letter with her "degrees" (which is quite common for directors of admissions) she was committing fraud. I am sure the back cover of the book she co-authored prominently features her "degrees."
I am not normally pro-litigation, but I hope every student who got turned down from MIT since she became dean in 1997 sues the school.
