Scott Walker, the un-academic?

Published January 13, 2015 10:00am ET



In 1990, Scott Walker left Marquette University before graduation. He is reportedly hoping to complete his degree now, but if he doesn’t, he could become the first president since Harry S Truman to enter the White House without a college degree.
