Had listed degrees from 3 institutions. In reality she had none.

This is like Paul Wolfowitz cracking down on corruption in the 3rd world as part of the World Bank giving out money, and then arranges a raise and promotion for his girlfriend at the World Bank, for which he has apologized.

I mean, this is the sort of irony equivalent to if JohnnyLingo hooked up with a female.

Excellent.

On a side note, this makes me wonder if she is in the middle of a divorce...

"School officials reviewed her qualifications last week when Daniel E. Hastings, dean for undergraduate education, received a phone call from a person who questioned her credentials. The school did not say who placed the call."

What does this say about the idiots who never checked her out to begin with BEFORE giving her the position?

To me they're bigger idiots than she is.

So much for "intellectuals" being thorough.

I agree. How does anyone without any kind of degree get a job like that?

Interesting that it's easier to get a job as Dean of Admissions at MIT than Head Football coach at Notre Dame.

Call me crazy, but I get the sense that you don't like "intellectuals." You should start calling them "so-called intellectuals," then you might get mistaken for Boyd K. Packer.

That made me laugh. It's probably true. Either that or she's in the middle of a heated battle for PTA president.

Most of them are arrogant and emotion-less assholes who're so firmly entrenched in their ways, that they make religious zealots look calm by comparison. Elder Packer wouldn't say that.

On the surface they appear to be "open minded", pretending to accept all viewpoints of discussion, but it's a B.S. smokescreen and in reality are quite often the least open minded of any bunch one is likely to encounter.
