I just read on another forum that Bill Clinton was expelled from Oxford. I have done a search, but have found nothing. According to his bios, Clinton graduated from Georgetown, attended Oxford, and graduated from Yale. Does anybody have a link to the story regarding his "expulsion"? Did it have to do with the Eileen Wellstone incident?

I can neither confirm nor deny that he was 'expelled"....

Best I've heard is that he was "firmly discouraged from trying to come back" for a second semester/second term because of poor grades, poor attendance, poor personal reputation (perhaps because of this sexual assault), or a combination of all three.

In any event, they DIDN'T want him back.

Someone else can provide the details, I assume; but as I understand it, he left as part of an agreement that a rape investigation against him would be dropped. Consequently, he never completed the Rhodes Scholar program, and therefore cannot accurately be called a Rhodes Scholar, although his supporters love to.

Bill Clinton should be serving time in prison - amazing that he isn't.

Clinton did not earn a degree at Oxford, which is very unusual for a Rhodes Scholar. The overwhelming majority of Rhodes Scholars take a Master's Degree at the end of their studies there.

As earlier commenters have suggested, Clinton was not expelled in any formal sense, or you would have known about it. But expulsions from university are quite rare, typically occurring when a student not only has done grievous wrongs but also has done them so as to embarrass his college or the University. Less-well-publicized infractions can be dealt with by discouraging the student from continuing his course of studies, blah blah.

As to whether the latter sort of thing happened to Clinton, I have no idea. This reprinted Washington Times article from a year ago ( http://www.papillonsartpalace.com/micssing.htm ) repeats that a fellow student of his at Oxford accused him of sexually assaulting her at a pub; the guy who's hosting the reprinted article adds his opinion (?) that it was this accusation that led to Clinton's being "quietly expelled."

What does Miss Wellstone have to say about this? That should be exactly where it ends.

The records have never been released. All clinton's academic records and medical records are sealed, and "investigative reporters have shown no interest in ferreting them out.

He may have been quietly dismissed for rape. He may have been dismissed for not doing any work. He seems to have spent a good deal of time in London organizing anti-Vietnam rallies rather than studying.

After one semester at Oxford, clinton went on a European tour, including a lengthy visit to the Soviet Union, presumably with the aid and approval of the KGB and probably the recommendation of his American political connections. It may be that he simply left Oxford and never went back, having found more interesting things to do.

In any case, he took the money for a Rhodes Scholarship but never bothered to take his degree. Evidently he was an annointed favorite of Senator Fulbright, who nominated him for the scholarship.

I have heard that but don't know.

I do know Ted Kennedy was expelled from Harvard for cheating.

On the subject of this legend in his own mind, and his 'better half', I believe it was Ann Coulter who reported that Willie & Hildebeast attended Yale law school when the subjects were 'pass-fail'. Working hard at making good grades was `irrelevant' and such a drag, donchaknow.
The handful of pass-fail classes I've taken in my life, nothing short of calling the teacher/professor a Republican would keep you from passing. It was basically auditing, with credit, but Billary was only getting its 'ticket punched' anyway.

While we are at it, whatever hapened to Danny Williams? (Clintons alledged child with a prostitute)

At one time the story was so big it even made it into a Leno joke "The main problem is who can you believe-a prostitute or Clinton" LOL

I know the story quickly died after a DNA sample/strand ( from blue dress) was released in the media and the Star Mag compared it to Willaims and said no match. Someone (newsmax?) tried to confirm that the DNA data released to media was real and FBI refused to confirm or deny.

I remember how the Willaims family dog was shot by police (about the same time Willy came out about her missing cat) leading Lucianne Goldberg to comment "They really have a problem with pets don't they"

I also remmember the incident in a pub in Europe where the secret service guy smashed a glass after Clinton drank from it. (Hiding DNA?)

So anyone have any update?
