UCI says exec didn’t graduate

Broadcom Corp. Senior Vice President Vahid Manian didn’t earn degrees from UC Irvine that are listed in his company biography, according to the school’s registrar.

Manian, who oversees global manufacturing at the Irvine chip maker, attended UC Irvine between September 1979 and August 1983 but wasn’t awarded any degrees, said Mark Fonseca, who is responsible for privacy issues in the school registrar’s office. Manian’s biography on Broadcom’s website says he has bachelor’s and masters of business administration degrees from the school.

Broadcom spokesman Bob Marsocci said he was looking into the matter.
