(Des Moines, IA) -- More universities have come forward to question the résumé of former Des Moines Public Schools Superintendent Ian Roberts.
Roberts’ résumé and LinkedIn page list a long list of accomplishments. However, his claims of degrees from MIT and Morgan State University are untrue, according to both institutions.
Roberts also listed a 2013 Principal of the Year award from George Washington University while working in D.C. That school says it has no record of awarding such a recognition.
According to Des Moines Public Schools, Roberts’ background check did not include a review of the awards he claimed to have received. It did include checks of criminal and driving records, credit reports, and academic credentials.
Roberts is currently in ICE custody on charges that he was in the country illegally. His attorney says Roberts believed his immigration issues had been resolved.
