A Whole new level of being unproductive
So, I am sitting in a meeting room at a conference in Orlando ‘listening’ to a talk about checking credentials and background and what Admissions people have the right to know and reject people based upon (might be time to change my name here on the blog).
Kind of interesting, may even deserve a post of it own.
What I just discovered, though, is that I can blog from my cell phone. Probably something I was better off not knowing.
Oh and don’t lie on your resume/CV or school applications. It will come back to bite you in the ass… Put more on that later. It is a bit tiring to type all of this with my thumbs.

Did they bring up the resignation of the MIT dean of admissions?

They did, and they really focused on the fact that it was all based on an anonymous tip, so, be careful and don’t lie was pretty much the lesson learned there. I don’t know it is odd, I have mixed feelings about it all, yes while she did lie and all, she has been working there since 1979 (when she initially lied on her resume) and has been a dean for 10 years. While she lied to get the job initially it is pretty clear she knew what she was doing and had been doing a decent job. Does the punishment really fit the crime here? Of course if all that had happened was a slight reprimand, well, I am sure I would be calling for her to be fired
