Then why doesn’t Columbia just show the records? Back in 2000 we learned what grades Bush and Gore made in college. Ditto Kerry in 2004. Why should this guy not be subject to the same scrutiny?
You want colleges and universities to unilaterally release records? That's the kind of country you wan to live in.
Kerry and Bush both voluntarily released their college transcripts. Their colleges didn't unilaterally release those college transcripts. While the media should demand his records, and Obama should comply, Columbia certainly shouldn't release anything without Obama's, or any student's explicit approval.
