The revelation was a shocking turn for Jones, who had been highly regarded in her field and widely praised for MIT’s efforts to reduce student anxiety in college admissions. Her profile surged last year with the publication of “Less Stress, More Success,?...
Among other pieces of advice in the book, Jones warned students against “making up information to present yourself as something you are not.” She wrote, “You must always be completely honest about who you are.”
MIT said that Jones listed degrees on her resume from RPI, in Troy, N.Y.; Union College, in Schenectady, N.Y.; and Albany Medical College.
Sharon Kunkel, the registrar of RPI, said Jones attended the school part-time from September 1974 to June 1975 but never received a degree. Representatives for Union and Albany Medical said Jones had never attended their schools.
It was not clear what degrees, if any, Jones actually earned or where else she may have attended school. In retrospect, inconsistent accounts of her education in the press and other sources could have raised red flags.
