Life couldn't get much better for George O'Leary when he was named the head football coach at Notre Dame. Unfortunately, he barely had time to celebrate his new job before he was ruled ineligible: after just a week on the job, he was forced to resign, embarrassing himself, his family, his friends, and Notre Dame itself. Why? Because of a few lies that he'd put on his resume twenty years earlier. To get the facts behind this story, read the following link article

and review the article (or another) about o'Leary's firing. Then, answer the following questions:

1. Was O'Leary's punishment appropriate? If you were the athletic director at Notre Dame, would you have meted out the same punishment? Why, or why not?

2. False information on his rsum came back to haunt O'Leary after twenty years. Once he'd falsified his rsum, was there any corrective action that he could have taken? If so, what?
