Harvard cheating scandal
This is probably why Obama’s records are sealed.
125 undergraduates are currently being investigated over allegations they collaborated on a take-home exam paper for a course entitled ‘Introduction to Congress’.
And a leaked letter from the professor who uncovered the cheating reveals the similarities between different students’ answers which he believes cannot have been the result of coincidence.
The tell-tale signs included obscure political references, phrases repeated word-for-word, and an extra space inserted into the number ’22,500′.

I’m willing to bet that O’s school records aren’t available because he claimed to be Indonesian in order to get preferential treatment on admissions and student aid. The schools can’t release them without the permission of the student.
But I wonder if a House committee, say one that oversees higher education, might be interested in investigating student loan / grant fraud for federal programs for say someone falsly claiming to be foreign in order to qualify? Then maybe there might be some discover.

Evidence of grade inflation at Ivy League schools:
In 1966, 22% of Harvard undergraduate students earned A’s. By 1996, that figure rose to 46%. That same year, 82% of Harvard seniors graduated with honors.
and handed out consumer law teaching positions to affirmative action hires, too ignorant to teach constitutional law.

It just makes one shake their head in near-resignation that the words honor, honesty, and integrity represent archaic ideas among youth today.
The article quotes author and former Harvard student Eric Kester, who blames the pressure of “being the next Mark Zuckerberg” for the cheating. Hard to imagine we’re talking about some of the most privileged people on the planet, isn’t it. Poor darlings.
