"There's more drama at trouble Internet giant Yahoo where the board is looking into how and why inaccurate information was included in CEO\u00A0Scott Thompson's biography.\r\n\r\nThe company has released a statement, as AllThingsD reports, which confirms that it is &amp;quot;reviewing&amp;quot; the matter:\r\nIn connection with the statement the company made earlier today about Scott Thompson, the Yahoo! board will be reviewing this matter, and upon completion of its review, will make an appropriate disclosure to shareholders.\r\nThe issue, raised by\u00A0Dan Loeb of hedge Third Point, centers\u00A0around a computer science degree from Stone Hill College\u00A0that had been listed in the CEO's biography. The information has been found to be erroneous, as Thompson actually holds a Bachelor's of Science in Business Administration (Accounting) from the Boston-based institution.\r\n\r\nNot only is the information inaccurate, but no such degree is offering at the college,\u00A0as CNBC points out on Twitter:\r\nThird Point: Stonehill College didn't offer computer science degree until 1983. 1983 was 4 years after Thompson graduated.\r\n\r\n\u2014 CNBC (@CNBC) May 3, 2012\r\nThe error has reportedly been included on Thompson's educational history for more than ten years and it remains unclear just how (and who) introduced the erroneous information. The computer service degree was included in his biography when he was CTO of Paypal too, as Business Insider reports.\r\n\r\nYahoo has since removed the line about Thompson's education from all materials online, but the fact that it was allowed to go unchecked for as long as it did, has raised questions about the company's vetting process.\r\n\r\nThe company was criticized by many as under-playing the importance of the error following its initial response to Leob's claim:\r\nScott Thompson\u2019s degree at Stonehill College was in bachelor science in accounting. There was an inadvertent error that stated Mr. Thompson also holds a degree in computer science. This, in no way, alters that fact that Mr. Thompson is a highly qualified executive with a successful track record leading large consumer technology companies. Under Mr. Thompson\u2019s leadership, Yahoo! is moving forward to grow the company and drive shareholder value.\r\nThompson took the Yahoo hot seat in January,\u00A0three months after Carol Bartz was fired."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
