Marilee Jones, the former dean of admissions of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology
(MIT), resigned after twenty-eight years as an administrator in the admissions office. The dean
for undergraduate education received in- formation questioning Ms. Jones’s academic
credentials. Her résumé, used when she was hired by MIT, indicated that she had degrees from
Albany Medical College, Union College, and Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. In fact, she had
no degrees from any of these schools or from anywhere else. She had attended Rensselaer
Polytechnic as a part-time non-matriculated student during the 1974–75 school year, but the
other institutions had no record of any attendance at their schools.
When Ms. Jones arrived at MIT for her entry-level position in 1979, a degree was probably not
required. However, she did progress through the ranks of the admissions of- fice, and, in 1997,
she was appointed dean of admissions. She explained that she wanted to disclose her lack of
degrees at that point but that she had gone on for so long that she did not know how to come
clean with the truth. Point to the initial decision, why it was flawed, why Ms. Jones made that
decision, and what had to be done after that as a result of that choice. Is there a rationale for
allowing Marilee Jones for retaining her position after this discovery.
Are there resume "misstatements" that should not lead to termination? What would these be?
Solution
Answer:
After realisnig that she is at guilt it is better for her to quit her position and continue to work as a
teacher which is a noble profession. Taking the responsibility for her mis statements is one of the
way to make amends in the wrongs that was not committed knowingly.
