Christine O’Donnell Falsely Claims to Have Studied at Claremont Graduate School
Wow. Another false claim has been discovered on Christine O’Donnell’s education resumé: Christine O’Donnell Lies About Attending Claremont Graduate University.
A new report late tonight suggests O’Donnell did not attend Claremont Graduate University as she indicated.
Gary Scott, a radio producer in Los Angeles and longtime political reporter and editor, uncovered tonight on his blog that O’Donnell does not seem to have attended the Southern California school.
From Scott’s report:
The same resume lists O’Donnell as having attended Claremont Graduate University in Claremont, California. The claim seemed suspicious since O’Donnell had yet to receive her undergraduate degree, from Farleigh Dickinson University, until last summer. So I asked CGU’s public relations officer, Rod Leveque, if the school had any record of O’Donnell attending classes there. His response: In short, no. Claremont Graduate University has no student or education record for an individual named Christine O’Donnell. In 2002, O’Donnell was listed as a “Lincoln Fellow” at the Claremont Institute, a conservative think tank also based in Claremont. However, the institute is not affiliated with the Claremont Graduate University or any of the other Claremont Colleges. One of the Claremont Institute’s fellows, Harry Jaffa, did teach at the Claremont Graduate University back when it was known as Claremont Graduate School.
TPM also reached the university spokesman Leveque.
He tells us:
Claremont Graduate University has no student or education record for an individual named Christine O’Donnell.
