Last week, a Yahoo! activist shareholder exposed that CEO Scott Thompson had misrepresented his academic credentials on his resume. The CEO claimed he had a degree in computer science when only had an accounting degree. Yahoo’s board is reviewing the issue, but so far the company is standing by its leader.

Guests:

Kirk Hanson, professor and executive director of Markkula Center for Applied Ethics at Santa Clara University.
