Marianthi Lansdale

The Senate voted 33 to 1 Thursday to approve a bill that would give it power to remove any public appointee who falsifies qualifications during confirmation hearings. The bill was introduced by Sen. Gary K. Hart (D-Santa Barbara) after The Times revealed in December that California State University Chairwoman Marianthi Lansdale of Huntington Beach falsely claimed during her nomination process to have earned an associate of arts degree in 1959 from Long Beach City College.

The good news is that women are getting the message: Education counts. Smart is good for your career, your children and great for your self-esteem. Smart is savvy. Smart is sexy. The bad news is that some women who know this better than most have been surprisingly stupid. They lied about their smarts. They said they earned a college degree that they did not. Then they played dumb before they were forced to 'fess up.

Your article on Marianthi Lansdale outraged me. Is she saying it's okay to lie? What a terrible example she represents for the young people of this country. To make matters worse, Chancellor Reynolds appears to condone such behavior. What is happening to the values of our society? KATHERINE O'KLEIN Whittier

Marianthi Lansdale, chairwoman of the California State University trustees, not only misstated her academic credentials but also demonstrated an unacceptable arrogance for her position on the board and to the citizens of the state. We do read The Times, and far more importantly, we do care. Personally, I care greatly that she "doesn't care," and that she apparently cannot read well enough to fill out application forms. If she reads poorly and doesn't care what her word means, well, it seems perhaps she earned her degree from a phone book.

The chairwoman of the California State University Board of Trustees on Wednesday issued a formal public apology for misstating her educational credentials and offered to meet with a powerful Senate committee next month to discuss the matter. "I would like to apologize for any confusion which may have resulted from references in my resume to my attendance at Long Beach City College," Marianthi Lansdale said in a prepared statement issued Wednesday through the CSU chancellor's office.

The California State University Board of Trustees, responding to a disclosure that its Huntington Beach chairwoman had inflated her resume, voiced its "full support" for her Wednesday in Long Beach. CSU Chairwoman Marianthi K. Lansdale, an Orange County patron of the arts and the wife of a political supporter of Gov. George Deukmejian, has acknowledged that she misstated her academic credentials when under consideration for the gubernatorial appointment in 1985.

Completing her round of apologies and explanations, CSU Trustee Chairwoman Marianthi Lansdale met with the state's most powerful senator Tuesday to discuss why she claimed a community college degree she hadn't earned during her appointment and confirmation in 1986.

As a professor in the California State University system since 1963 and the recipient of the statewide trustee's "Outstanding Professor Award" in 1967, I am appalled on several levels by the revelation (Part A, Dec. 20) that Marianthi Lansdale, chairwoman of the CSU board of trustees, falsified her claim to have a 2-year community college degree, and reportedly said that she "doesn't care" that she misstated her educational background. First, why are apparently unqualified people who make large campaign donations to the governor rewarded with this kind of important appointment?
