Why has Jeb Bush's college graduation year been omitted by the media for at least 30 years now?

43. Here's one that says he graduated in 1973

And another that also dates his marriage to that year. (On edit: Though Wikipedia gives that date as February 23, 1974.)

I doubt he was actually a drop-out, but it does seem possible that his father and James Baker may have arranged a few shortcuts to get him that degree. The history of both with the University of Texas is long and often unsavory.

Following graduation from the University of Texas at Austin in Latin American Studies in 1973, Jeb Bush went to work with the international division of the Texas Commerce Bank. As the St. Petersburg Times reported, an executive at the bank, James A. Baker III, was a close friend of Jeb’s father and would later run George H.W. Bush’s presidential campaign before becoming the Secretary of the Treasury under Ronald Reagan and Secretary of State under Bush Sr.
