In 1961 the offer was renewed and Nixon turned Duke down.
I don't know the details, but here's the source.
When Nixon died the graduating class of the law school petitioned for a tribute at their graduation. It looks like they didn't get the moment of silence they wanted, but there was a special memorial note published in the commencement program.
I have to wonder about articles like this one. How much of an idiot or lackey does the author have to be not to at least mention that we still haven't seen Obama's grades?
A number of our better presidents only attended the college of hard knocks as I recall.
I would love to see a list (not just Nixon) of presidents with high grades.
His humorous self-deprecating comment should be taken for what it is and nothing more.
But you know comparing grades from the 1940s or 1960s with grades today is like comparing apples with howitzers.
The standard is totally different today, especially in the humanities and especially at institutions like Harvard and Yale.
Kerry got a D in "rocks and blocks for jocks?" Geez. And I say that as a geologist. It does not get any easier.
zero didn’t even finish grade school, so how does that stack up against the field?
Wilson didn't, but his school didn't have a chapter at the time.
Others -- FDR, Truman, Carter -- were made honorary members later, which isn't the same thing.
Some unsavory characters were also PBK -- Alger Hiss, Angela Davis, Alfred Kinsey, JFK's Best and Brightest, and the gang running the economy now.
Jeb Bush made it at UT, Bobby Jindal at Brown. So did a lot of Supreme Court Justices.
Franklin Pierce's friends and classmates, Hawthorne and Longfellow, made it at Bowdoin, so maybe one of them should have been elected President.
Oh and Barack Obama made it as well. Barack Sr., that is, at UHawaii.
The “AA” making up for his pathetic grades, no doubt.
It’s an open secret they put him on law review because he was, to quote Joe Biden, a magic negro.
Was he a student at all? Don’t think we’ve seen any actual record. Everyone says he was, but who knows?
In fact, the quota system is precisely how he got there in the first place. Obama was "too black to fail" in the view of the leftist educrats.
When Clinton was attending Yale Law School all grades were Pass/Fail. I’m assuming he passed.
RE: Obama was a D+/C- student
Where did you get his record?

Kinkos in Abeline.
It may be fake, but it’s accurate.
