Yes - you should be careful to double check your resume. In a similar, yet more publicized story, this well known and respected college football coach was embarrassed in the same way as Marilee. See below...

Notre Dame Controversy

In 2001, O'Leary left Georgia Tech to take over as the head coach for the University of Notre Dame. Five days later, O'Leary resigned after he was discovered to have lied on his resume. On the resume, O'Leary claimed that he had earned a master's degree from New York University when in actuality, he only attended the school but never graduated. He also claimed that he had earned three letters in football at the University of New Hampshire, when the school claimed he had not even played in one game.

Notre Dame initially planned to stand behind O'Leary. After it emerged that he'd lied about his academic credentials, the school asked for his resignation.

In a public statement, O'Leary had this to say; "In seeking employment I prepared a resume that contained inaccuracies regarding my completion of course work for a master's degree and also my level of participation in football at my alma mater. These misstatements were never stricken from my resume or biographical sketch in later years."

I was born & raised in northern Indiana and I remember when that happened! It was devasting, especially since former Notre Dame coach Lou Holtz had such a long run with the school.
