although it was my understanding he never went further than maybe a sophomore in college. Did someone put that there to hurt the University or to enhance Rove? LOL.

1. I've seen similar recognitions.
Jackie Kennedy's mother, Janet Lee, only attended Sweet Briar College for one semester and left yet I've seen her listed as an alumna.

3. There's a certain dishonesty about that
I thought it was only proper to list if you had completed a degree at that campus.

4. It's not. I don't think he ever even attended there. That's why I remarked.

Whether he ever attended, I don't know.

6. So if I graduated from Upper-Duckwater Univ. in FlySpeck WI
but somewhere along the line I took one accounting class at Harvard as a special student, I can list that I am an Harvard Alumna! Cool!

7. I took a negotiating class from Roger Fisher of Harvard!
He wrote the book: "Getting to Yes"
