MILWAUKEE — Scott Walker was gone. Dropped out. And in the spring of his senior year.
In 1990, that news stunned his friends at Marquette University. Walker, the campus’s suit-wearing, Reagan-loving politico — who enjoyed the place so much that he had run for student body president — had left without graduating.

Basically, yes.
Has he ever claimed otherwise? The key problem would only be if he has claimed a degree he doesn’t actually have. Beyond that, it’s not necessarily a big deal. It’ll hurt him but if he’s clever he can get past it.
“...Is that what the liberals at the Post are saying????”
This is really a good sign. This is all the radical left media can come up with to attack and ATTEMPT to defame Walker. They cannot attack his record, far from it. Compare THAT to Obama, Hitlery, et al. HA!!!
The POS MSM will throw everything they can at the wall, HOPING that something will stick. It will be a difficult task with Walker. He has a track record that they just hate...and it makes the left look like what they are.
Get out the popcorn.
Well, I will vote for candidates based on issues and experience of candidates. I will not base my vote on whether someone finished college or not.
There a a story recently how Ted Cruz got in trouble for alcohol possession when he was underage. So is that going to be an issue with Cruz, that we need to eliminate him from consideration due to youthful problems?
But when do these liberal media types ever apply these criteria to liberal/Democrat candidates for office???
Here they come. He must have Dems. scared.
That’s what is scaring the left about Walker. Guy’s been in election mode for the last five years. Whatever was out there to dig up has been dug up.
From here, they are going to have to manufacture what they need, not unlike W’s national guard memo.
You think Brian Williams and Dan Rather will move into the same Florida retirement community for washed up communists and outed lying scumbags? Maybe Del Boca Vista Phase 3?
But Walker voted present. Hell, he’s a governor.
The Left can play the education game, but their idiot has no grades.
Meanwhile Obama's records remain sealed.
From Wiki (that was tough):
“Walker dropped out of Marquette in the spring of 1990, in good standing with a 2.59/4.0 GPA but without attaining a degree. During college Walker worked part-time for IBM selling warranties on mainframe computers. His IBM job led to a full-time position in marketing and fundraising at the American Red Cross from 1990 to 1994.”
Sounds like he left because he got a job that he was good at.
It may be a good thing he did not graduate!
It wasn’t such a good thing for Ted Bundy, Dennis Rader (BTK killer) or John Wayne Gacy was it?
What a disgusting hit piece. Of course, that isn’t shocking with the leftist alinskyites.
These elitists sure are trying to stir up something here.
Who was it who said something like they’d rather be governed by the first 100 names in the NYC phone book than 100 graduates of Ivy League schools?
Has anyone ever noticed how College and College degrees are so important to the left? I do have my degree, but it’s not the defining moment in my life and not something I talk about that often. It was a way for me to get into the field I wanted to be in, period. If I were Scott Walker and they asked me why I didn’t get my degree, I would tell them life got in the way. The rest of America that raises their family and become productive citizens will understand.
George Washington never went to college and he turned out okay. Heck, he didn’t even go to high school.
“questions linger”
“stunned”
The only lingering questions are from the lunatic left, such as the washington post, as it spearheads the movement to trash the man.
It has begun: the trashing of Republicans who threaten the established power of the left.
Obviously written by an overly educated individual who has little, if any, accomplishment to show for their years in the daily grind. If we must judge each other, let it be for what has been accomplished with the tools at hand, rather than for building up a shi+load of tools and failing to out them to good use.
Wow. That’s about the weakest hit piece I’ve ever read. The best they could do was bring up old rumors that he was thrown out of school for election misbehavior, but then had to report that the university officially and formally said that was false.
