Abbott [3] (NYSE:ABT [4]) chairman & CEO Miles White said he's "fully confident" in Richard Gonzalez as the new head of the company's AbbVie pharmaceutical spin-out, in spite of the ongoing kerfuffle over Gonzalez's "misstated" college credentials.

 The healthcare giant confirmed [5] last week that regulatory filings and company documents had mistakenly attributed to Gonzalez bachelor's and master's degrees, when the long-time Abbott executive never finished college.
