Credentials listed on his resume are not all right. David Edmondson, RadioShack Corp’s president admitted that 12 years ago on his recruitment in to the company he did lie about his educational qualification.
Edmondson had claimed that he received degrees in theology and psychology from Pacific Coast Baptist College in California, which moved in 1998 to Oklahoma and renamed itself Heartland Baptist Bible College.
The school’s registrar told the Ft. Worth Star-Telegram that records showed Edmondson completed only two semesters and that the school never offered degrees in psychology. The school official declined to comment to The Associated Press.
Corporate America is stunned no doubt. It’s now time companies should employ strings of HR executives for a thorough check up of the executives’ history before they come in with their huge inflated self-image. FEMA Chief Michael Brown case is still afresh in our memory.
