My Degree says I got a 'Business School Commendation' and I don't know why

Hi All,

My university degree transcript specifically states 'Business School Commendation' on it and I have no idea why. I've never been contacted by the business school or university about this so I can't say why they've included this.

I've never been top of the class in any projects or exams, so it can't be due to academic achievement. I have contributed to the community through running societies and lots of extracurriculars, although I was under the impression that business schools didn't really award that type of stuff.

I've contacted the business schools multiple times about this and have had no answer - three emails over the past 2 months with no replies. 

...My question is, should I include this in my resume? Aside from it being morally dubious, I don't see why not. It looks like the Business School's fuck up. Or maybe I actually deserved it somehow and never got the email/mail awarding it to me? 

Anyone have any thoughts on this?

Five Star ManWhy is it morally dubious? You received an official award from the school, you didn't make it up. Who knows, maybe the dean thinks you're cute. Meritocracy is obsolete and outdated, real sigma males document their looks on a scale of 1/10 and put that on their resume instead.
