Of course, Columbia would not conduct its own internal investigation to determine the facts.......just like Harvard would never officially confirm or deny that Elizabeth Warren was hired based on her Native American ancestry.
I am sure Harvard would extend the same courtesy to Romney.......
Officially perhaps. But the transcripts would leak. We've seen Dem functionaries pry this type of privileged information from supposedly secure databases before. Divorce records, tax returns, college transcripts... none of these things can remain an absolute secret if there's an "R" after your name.
