NEW RULE ON CHEATING AT TRUMP'S ALMA MATER MAY RESULT IN HIM LOSING HIS COLLEGE DIPLOMA

Sorry for the shouting title, but that was how the article begins.

https://www.lancastercourier.com/2020/07/08/new-rule-on-cheating-at-trumps-alma-mater-may-result-in-him-losing-his-college-diploma/

Thanks to a new book from President Donald Trump’s niece, Mary, there is now an allegation that as a young high school student, Trump reportedly paid someone to take the SAT test for him so he could gain entry to the University of Pennsylvania:
“Penn’s new policy details the investigation process after potential misconduct is discovered. An investigation can be launched if information is found that confirms or suggests wrongdoing in the process of obtaining the degree. Graduates will have the option to come to an agreement to possibly voluntarily give up the degree, or a formal investigation and hearing will be launched."
“After the launch of the investigation, the graduate in question will be notified in writing of the investigation and the information used to make the decision. The information from the investigation will be summarized and given to the dean of the school that conferred the degree, who will make the final decision on whether to move forward into a hearing.”

He says he's a 'stable genius' so he shouldn't have any problem passing the test with flying colors. Make Trump re-take the SAT.

impossible at this point. Would there even be an existing record of his application or test at this point. I'd assume those are purged at some point.

died in 1999 of lymphoma. How far could an investigation into trump's cheating get without Joe Shapiro? I don't know. Anyone?

But doesn't mean he didn't take the test for Trump. I did things in college I regret and have never revealed to anyone including my spouse. Because of his high profile career as lawyer he would never have admitted doing something so unethical and possible illegal.
