CLASS ACT? Gov. Deval Patrick said he will look into claims that Middlesex Community College Board of Trustees Chairman Royall M. Mack boasted of a bogus Harvard pedigree.
[From article]
The Herald disclosed yesterday that Royall M. Mack Sr. — now midway through a four-year term as chairman of the Middlesex Community College’s Board of Trustees — has boasted of having an “Executive MBA” from Harvard’s Advanced Management Program since 2003, even though the school doesn’t award such a degree.
“I’m going to get the facts from the source,” Patrick said yesterday, while insisting that a separate group recommends board trustees before they reach his desk. “I will look into this latest allegation. I don’t have conversations with individual appointees to community college boards (beforehand).”
Mack also admitted to sending the same information to other boards he sits on, including the National Black College Hall of Fame, where he serves as vice chairman. The group’s executive director, Prince H. Brown, said he, too, is reviewing Mack’s credentials.
Mack’s undergraduate alma mater also credited him with having a Harvard MBA in a college newsletter as early as 2002, though Mack said he never gave school officials that info.
