I’m of the same era as hussein. We suddenly had a bunch of Iranians show up at our college. The profs were ordered to pass them no matter if they showed up or not. That did a job on the bell curve for the rest of us. I’m sure the registrar’s office can show their enrollment and transcript but by and large, they were NOT on campus. Some might show up for class here and there but the reality of it was just a paper scam. I’ve always thought this might be the same scam as the usurper.

This sounds like the most likely answer for the discrepancies. Elsewhere I’ve heard it asked if he is or isn’t on the Columbia graduation program, but then a scan of that with his name on it was uploaded. So something like what you described seems like the best explanation, quite plausible when you consider he was raised in a Mohammedan country and allowed into Pakistan at a time when supposedly only Mohammedans were let in.
