- \nShe attended her university’s commencement ceremony in 1993 but did not receive a degree. O’Donnell later said the degree was withheld due to unpaid tuition. In 1994, Fairleigh Dickinson University sued her for $4,823, winning a judgment for the entire amount according to court documents. The debt was paid in 2003. After O’Donnell completed a required course in the summer of 2010, Fairleigh Dickinson awarded her a bachelor’s degree in English literature…<\/div>\n<\/li>\n

In 2003, O’Donnell moved to Delaware to work for the Intercollegiate Studies Institute in Hockessin, and bought a house in Wilmington. She registered a gender discrimination<\/span> complaint against ISI with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission<\/span>, after which she was fired in 2004. She then sued ISI in federal court<\/span> for $6.9 million for wrongful termination<\/span> claiming gender discrimination and that she had been fired in retaliation for filing the EEOC discrimination complaint. She said ISI’s actions caused her mental anguish, and that she had lost future financial earning power because ISI’s actions delayed her education. ISI defended its action by alleging that she had conducted a for-profit public-relations business while on their time. O’Donnell dropped the suit in 2008, stating she could no longer afford an attorney.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n- \n
In 2008 O’Donnell defaulted on the mortgage for her Wilmington house and the mortgage company obtained a judgment against her for $90,000. The house was due to be sold at a sheriff’s auction in August 2008 when she sold it the month prior to her campaign’s lawyer.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n- \n
The IRS<\/span> filed a lien in 2010 that said that O’Donnell owed $11,000 in back taxes and penalties from 2005, according to public records. O’Donnell said that it was a mistake and a computer error, and noted that the IRS agent handling the matter claimed he was perplexed by the agency’s actions. <\/div>\n<\/li>\n- \n
Because of financial difficulties, she moved to a Delaware townhouse, where she paid half the rent with campaign funds because she also used separate quarters in the residence as her campaign headquarters for her 2010 Senate run. Between 2007 and 2009 the Federal Election Commission cited her eight times for failing to supply contributions reports on time… Her 2008 campaign ended with $23,000 in debt. As of March 2010, O’Donnell owed payments to staffers, consultants, and volunteers from the 2008 campaign, according to a former employee.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nI guess she’s not running on Maturity<\/font><\/strong> after all. Maybe it’s that she looks a bit like Tina Fey<\/font><\/strong>…<\/div>\n![](\"http:\/\/1boringoldman.com\/images\/fey.jpg\")
