Upon looking into a tip received early last week that Jones’ academic credentials were questionable, the Office of the Dean for Undergraduate Education was unable to confirm that she had received any of those degrees, Richards said. When confronted, Jones admitted that she had misrepresented her academic background.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/D7BC4628-75E5-4085-8D1C-286E0813FCE1/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
