One of MIT's own, Dean of Admission: Ms. Marilee Jones. After 10 solid and progressively successful work in the position, she was forced to resign due to lying. Apparently she was able to navigate the steps to Dean status with only one year of part-time college work.
Thats about, what, 15-28 college credits? The focus on her lack of "integrity" by lying seems frivolous in light of her capacity to be so effective and successful in a career without a college degree(s).
Makes you wonder if a college degree is overrated and if the system is short-changing itself by discounting viable candidates who lack degrees? It seems the only way to ensure acceptable access in a competitive marketplace without a degree is to "do" a Bill Gates or Steve Jobs...
