 "Yahoo CEO apologises for lying about college degree")
San Fransisco: Yahoo CEO Scott Thompson says he’s is sorry for allowing an inaccuracy about his education to appear in his official bio, but not remorseful enough to heed calls for his resignation. In a memo sent Monday to the troubled Internet company’s employees, Thompson apologized for the uproar caused by the misinformation. Yahoo Inc provided a copy of the memo to The Associated Press. The memo didn’t offer any explanation why Thompson’s bio has periodically listed a bachelor’s degree in computer science that he never received.

Yahoo’s board is investigating the circumstances that led to the exaggeration about Thompson’s education. AP
