Description
We received a complaint alleging that an assistant director for the Office of Law Enforcement and Security (OLES), Technology Division, had falsified his educational qualifications listed on the Department of the Interior Web site, as well as on LinkedIn.
Our investigation revealed that the assistant director obtained falsified university transcripts, claiming to have graduated with a master’s degree from the University of Central Florida and a bachelor’s degree from the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh. We also determined that he made these claims on his official records he submitted to the Department of Interior.
On July 5, 2013, the assistant director resigned from the Department of the Interior.
