American Academy of Arts and Sciences president to resign in resume scandal

At least she didn?t claim to be a Nobel prize winner.? Via Slashdot:

?The 233-year old American Academy of Arts and Sciences has announced that its longtime President and Chief Executive, Leslie Cohen Berlowitz, has agreed to resign effective at the end of this month following an investigation of charges of resume embellishment and other misconduct.

Berlowitz falsely claimed to have received a doctorate from New York University, and has also been criticized for her behavior towards scholars and subordinates, and for her compensation package ($598,000 for 2012) relative to the size of the non-profit organization she led.

The Academy, based in Cambridge MA, was founded during the American Revolutionary War and is one of the most prestigious honorary societies for the American intellectual elite, extending across math and science, arts and letters, business, law and public affairs. The active membership rolls contain people you?ve heard of; the incoming class list provides a more manageable glimpse of the society?s breadth.?

The American Academy of Arts and Sciences is big on pushing this pet project: ?the Alternative Energy Future?
