In response to the Nnews that President Barack Obama’s eEldest daughter, Malia, will be attending Harvard after taking a gap year, the University of Chicago has decided to rewardaward her with an honorary Doctor of Law Degree at the upcoming 2016527th convocation.
Professor Gary Wilson, noted for his insight into game theory, was responsible for nominating Malia for the degree. He explained his rationale exclusively to the Dealer.
by saying‘B“bye making her a doctor immediately, we eliminate any chance Harvard has of taking credit for her education. Naturally a law degree was the perfect choice given her father’s previous post at Chicago.” Wilson then added that even though the president and his wife met and dated at Harvard that “it doesn’t leave the same lasting effect as teaching Law in a gentrified Chicago neighborhood does.”.
Malia herself refused to comment on if whether the dDegree will affect her choice to go to Harvard, but her parents have promised to support their daughter no matter what.
By contrast, many of Obama’s critics cite the honor as another example of the president’s children being given special privilege. Local Republican student James Southerland said that the honor was “nepotism affirmative action run amok” and complained that “she needs to suffer through the core and a major just like the rest of us if she wants to have earned that degree!!”
Harvard also refused to give an acknowledgment to the University of Chicago’s decision, but inside sources claim that an Harvard master’s degree with Sasha Obama’s name on it is currently being printed.
