One Last Question

About the Ben Domenech resignation. It's clear from all the reporting about B.D.'s college days that he didn't graduate from college. Now, there are all sorts of reasons why one doesn't actually finish a degree. And we know that B.D. had lots of D.C. connections. Maybe he was just impatient to get to the big capital city and make his splash--which, in retrospect, he certainly did.

So this is just speculation. But people might also fail to complete a degree, from time to time, because they are expelled, or suspended, or asked to leave.

One reason one might get "kicked out" is . . . plagiarism.

And it's possible that, were that to happen with a relatively well-connected, willing-to-sue young man with a huge conservative chip on his shoulder, the College and the student might just agree to a voluntary parting of the ways . . . .

Again, this is rank speculation. I have no evidence, only inferences drawn from the facts as I know them from press accounts only and my experience as an instructor, as well as B.D.'s seeming inability to actually write his own prose. But speculation can be fun, no?
