话说这第一句话就有语法错误。也不知道是谁写的。而且两个代词混淆。
For the first time ever, Stanford University's Graduate School of Business
today (March 5) confirmed that he had stripped a 2003 graduate of his MBA
degree because he was admitted to the school's MBA program under "false
pretenses."
The decision to nullify the degree of hedge fund trader Mathew Martoma
follows his conviction last month of insider trading charges. "Martoma does
not have a Stanford MBA," confirmed Stanford GSB spokesperson Barbara Buell.
The school ostensibly did not strip the former employee of SAC Capital
Advisors of the degree because of his Feb. 6th conviction, however, but
rather because he failed to disclose that he was thrown out of Harvard Law
School for doctoring his grade transcript and sending the forged document to
federal judges in search of a job.
Two years after being dismissed from Harvard, Martoma had changed his name
and successfully applied to Stanford's business school. But he apparently
covered up the fact that he had been kicked out of Harvard. The decision by
Stanford indicates that Marie Mookini, then director of MBA admissions at
Stanford, did not know that the applicant was expelled. Mookini, now an MBA
admissions consultant based in Palo Alto, declined comment.
"What makes this possible is not that he was a convicted felon, but that he
was admitted under false pretenses," a faculty member told the Journal.
Stanford sent Martoma a letter in February seeking an explanation about
statements he made on his original MBA application and gave him a two-week
deadline for a response, according to the newspaper. Martoma's lawyers asked
for a two-week extension which was granted by Stanford. When the new
deadline ran out on Friday without a response, Stanford decided to pull
Martoma's degree.
Though Stanford has consistently declined direct comment on the Martoma case
, citing privacy laws, the school does make clear that applicants who are
admitted to its MBA program on false pretenses can have their degrees
revoked. Most observers assume that Martoma, who legally changed his name
from Ajai Mathew Thomas to Mathew Martoma when he applied to Stanford,
failed to admit that he was thrown out of Harvard Law School for a
disciplinary reason.
“Federal law (FERPA) prohibits Stanford from discussing the specific
academic status of a former student," says spokesperson Buell. "However, we
take very seriously any violation of the integrity of our admissions process
. When there is evidence that any misrepresentation has been made, Stanford
’s policy and practice is to review the matter carefully. Determining the
validity of the evidence is undertaken immediately, but can take time. When
a review is completed, Stanford's policy provides it can revoke an offer of
acceptance and a degree, if it was found that an individual gained admission
through false pretenses. "
