Marilee Jones, dean of student admissions at one of the highest rated schools in the world, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, lied about her doctorate 28 years ago on her resume to get that position. The person that reviews student resumes lied on her resume! The irony.

  • Why do you need a doctorate degree to be a Dean? I don't see any real evidence for why someone who lacks a doctorate degree would do a lousy a job.

  • In America or any 1st world country, it is possible to become successful in life. All it takes is a good resume. Do people lie? yes. Does that make them bad people? no. It makes them smart people. Except this particular lady is an educator who advised teens not to do the same thing she did. "Do as I say, not as I do"....her words and actions should be consistent.

  • "How to lie on your Resume and get the job" Marilee Jones, MIT's dean of student admissions

    God, this would sell..

  • @Environmentalist111 you are correct, but she "beefed up" her resume. To stand above her competition -who don't have a doctorate degree- she lied telling the school that she had one. The school was tricked into thinking she was somehow better than all the other applicants, and therefore made her "admission" unfair... Ohh the irony.

  • Don't they do a credential check when they hire these people? I imagine from a prestigious institution like MIT has a system, I know at my University, there is one...

  • she ruined so many peoples lives.. everyone who she ever had an impact on probably feels cheated. and the poor person who would have gotten the job in 1979 if she hadnt lied. she should be fined millions

  • Watch some of Marilee Jones' other videos, specifically her lectures on the pressures and REAL lies being forced upon people and young people in the 21st century. I think she was fired because she was asking too many difficult questions. You'd think that a person who has been doing something for 28 years would probably be pretty good at what they do, and would have earned their title by that time!!!

  • OH MY GOD THIS IS SO UNEXPECTED..

  • Thanks a lot, I cant read for myself and need other people to read the internet and post about it via a video for me.

  • Does she still get the pension? What a joke.

  • Oh the irony hehe :)

  • College basically sell Admit ticket to attend class, like a hollywood movie, NFL football.

    Yes-letter, yes, can come to class and see lecture.

    No-letter. no, cannot come to class and see lecture.

    Knowledge belongs to world. Knowledge belongs all six billion people of earth, not just 18-16 year old, living on campus, who can pay 50K year.

    Digital lectures, textbooks, can reach billions, worldwide. anytime, anywhere.
