This past week, about a half-dozen professors from the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton business school stood up and stomped their feet.
They believe that back in 1968, Donald Trump paid someone to take his SAT exam....therefore acquiring their degree in a fraudulent way.
The crew suggesting this? Oddly, they all teach ethics.
The university take on this? NO, they have virtually no interest in trying to open this or discuss the allegation.
So lets admire the landscape.
1968....52 years ago.
The person they suggest as the fake tester? Joe Shapiro. He's been dead for over twenty years....just for the record.
Even if the college had gone to the first step of this and asked questions....who would you ask? The dead guy? Trump?
Maybe if he'd stayed around to do two more years and complete a thesis....you could open that up and make accusations of poor writing or failed citations. But he only lingered there long enough for the bachelor's degree.
So this became more or less another humor-piece for people laugh about. An accusation from 52 years ago, with no substance. Even if they had launched into this and dug up super-secret things and achieved the goal of revoking the degree....then what? Would the public even care if a 74-year old guy had a degree?
