Former Yahoo CEO Scott Thompson's resume said he had a double major in accounting and computer science at Stonehill College. In fact he had not completed the requirements for a computer science major and was found out. That is why he became a former CEO.
This seems to happen with depressing regularity. Cases in recent years include a former CEO at Radio Shack (David Edmondson), a vice dean at the University of Pennsylvania (Douglas Lynch) and a former football coach at Notre Dame (George O'Leary).
Remember what Forrest Gump said: "Stupid is as stupid does."
