ROYAL OAK, Mich. AP — The longtime director of the Detroit Zoo could lose his $175,000-a-year job after acknowledging that he never received a doctorate in zoology, officials say.

“I feel terrible. Its difficult to face now,” Ron Kagan said. “Im sorry and I know its damaged the zoo.”

The issue came up last Thursday when the Detroit Zoo Societys board of directors received an anonymous fax stating that Kagan had misrepresented his academic qualifications on his resume, zoo spokeswoman Patricia Mills said.
