Dean of admission at MIT

The lady resigned because she faked her resume when she joined MIT 28 years ago. She has been the champion of encouraging students not to focus on resume-building to get into good schools.

This was kind of expected after Supreme Court's MedImmune decision. Now as it turns into reality, we probably will see broad impact to the generic industry.
