[quote=Anonymous]OP, sorry if you updated and I missed it, but....if this is a school leadership position, the faculty adviser for the organization involved needs to know that the girl is claiming a position she never held. The adviser might do nothing, since the girl and your son both are done with HS and moving on to college. But any decent adviser would probably both tell the girl to alter her public resume and remove the lie [i]because it reflects on the organization[/i]. Nothing might happen at all, but it would be due diligence to tell the adviser of the organization in which this girl falsely claims leadership.

Your son, not you, should tell the adviser, and should not even mention his application to the same school or anything like that. No longer relevant. Just a straight-up, "This is online as Sally's resume, and it claims a position that she didn't hold. It doesn't affect me directly especially as we're now done with high school, but it does bother me that someone is claiming a position with our group that she never held, and I think that you as the adviser need to know about it so you can decide if you want to contact her about correcting it."

Anyway, your son should tell the adviser and be sure to do it in a way that reflects that he is not mad or doing it personally but is alerting the adviser to someone misrepresenting the organization.
