MIT dean resigns over resume lie
The Massachusetts Institute of Technology dean of admissions resigned yesterday after the school received a tip that three degrees she claimed on her resume were fabricated.

LYONS: Gillespie will be fine next season
Sure, it’s almost May, but there’s no such thing as a bad time to take a look at the state of our men’s hockey team here at BU. Like the Red Sox in Boston, there’s no offseason for the Icedogs when it comes to talking Terrier sports.

(Not so) Big Green
Thirty-one days ago, the outlook for the 2007 Boston University lacrosse season was rather bleak.
