Would you blow the whistle on the new office executive if you accidentally found out she lied about academic information on her resume?

I would say no. Office is entirely a different situation compared to academics. If you think that she got the position because of her academic credentials, then leave the human resource department to find out.

If they don't, then they are not doing their job well. She was hired because of all the information on her resume, probably her other work experiences and referrals. She is yet to prove her abilities on her new position and if she is not worthy then it will soon show on her performance evaluation by her boss/es.

If she becomes a good employee, then her academic accomplishments are not that important. Just concentrate on your own job and you might be promoted someday.

If you are an employee loyal to the company and your co-workers, then you would have to blow the whistle. While the lie may have been minor, it might have been the key to this person being hired over other, legitimately qualified candidates. That's not fair to everyone in the company, and could lead to severe mis-management down the road.

If employees cannot trust the people who are supposed to lead them, the work environment immediately deteriorates, and that leads to infighting, reduced efficiency, distrust, and ultimately resignations. Knowing what these types of environments feel like, I would have no choice but to blow the whistle. It's better to know the truth than to be unpleasantly surprised with it later.

Let the big-wigs deal with what they want to do and how important that lie might be to the future of the company. At least they know that you are honest and you know that you did everything you could to protect the people you work with every day.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
