Viewers to Ken: This Schrammie doesn't add up
Darcy Burner may not have a degree in economics from Harvard, but she's got her fair share of people who think I was picking on her by giving her "The Schrammie" this week. See the original story here.
James Hoye writes: "(Ken) you are, at the least, making a mountain out of a molehill. It’s true that she doesn't have an economics degree from Harvard, but that's ... because they don't recognize dual majors. ... In any case, she does have a (Harvard degree in computer science)."
Jim Roberson: "I’ll admit ... that while she technically does not have a degree in economics, she has taken a lot more courses in the subject then most of today’s graduates ..."
Ethel Husky: "(Are) special interests paying your way this week Schram? ... Not once did you mention the actual degree she does hold. ... Shame on you."
Steve Peterson: "She does have credentials from Harvard, just not referred to in the standard terms you're used to. ... Sad for you."
Tasha Grundy: "All of this nonsense concerning Darcy Burner's degree is fodder only for those who can't seem to grasp how college degree programs work."
Silly me Tasha. I thought it worked by going to college, taking the classes and then being awarded a degree that you actually earned.
Shows you what I know.
Thanks for writing, everyone.
Take care and have a great weekend.
