Very interesting.

Columbia is indeed in a bit of a dilemma.

If they admit that the Obamadork/felon was awarded a degree, they admit that their standards are the nadir from which all standards are measured.

And, of course, they cannot admit that they lied about the dork doing any real academic work there - because then his Chicago boyz from the ‘hood would take care of business.

It gives me great pleasure to see liberal excuses for academics (unneeded redundancy there) cause for worry.

One of the greatest gifts we’ve received is the fact that the low standards, smushy “leadership” and low-quality graduates of our supposedly top universities are now painfully obvious.

In your last two years of undergraduate studies, you are typically taking upper level courses required for your major, or electives. If your professor submits a grade to the Registrar for you for a particular course for which you were registered, you get a grade you get the credit hours. Only you and he/she know if you ever attended a class or did the course work.

So, if several professors are submitting grades, they can probably cover all of the courses needed for graduation and if none of them require that you attend class or do the work, you sail through without ever meeting any of your classmates. Is this what happened? Hard to say, but the possibility of collusion adds fuel to the fire.
