Doug had worked for two years as a sales manager of 25 people in an IT business, a position that required a high degree of trustworthiness, when he was terminated for a serious issue of insubordination. Doug sued for wrongful dismissal damages. During his testimony at trial, Doug told the court that she had a degree from Ryerson and that she played center on the basketball team.

The legal counsel for the employer noticed that Doug seemed a little small for a university varsity center in basketball, so he asked Doug to name the basketball coach. At that point, Doug admitted that she had never in fact attended Ryerson even though she said she had on her resume.

In your view, would this misrepresentation on her resume constitute just cause for her dismissal? Be sure to reference specific aspects of the case that support your answer.
