Then again, Gail Collin’s “master’s degree in government from the University of Massachusetts” certainly contributed to her “education!”

“She is a graduate of Marquette University, and has a masters degree in government from the University of Massachusetts. Since 2013, Ms. Collins has been a member of the Pulitzer Prize Board. Her columns appear every Thursday and Saturday and The Conversation, her weekly discussion with David Brooks, appears every Wednesday.”
Does she actually have this degree or has she made it up?
