13. You have to remember: GHW Bush was married with a kid

Jul 2023

As a college student, GHW Bush was married with a kid. MEANING: HE WAS A BUSY GUY! Maybe too busy for classes! His yearbook entry may be correct that he was very active in his fraternity and played sports. But after reviewing his high school grades as I did, and seeing how Yale is subject to FERPA, and how other restrictions under FERPA CAN apply to LIVING alumni, I just do not see how Yale can legally justify not turning over a transcript of a deceased alumni. The dead have no additional rights. The living do. Yet, in the end: I don't think Yale has a transcript for him anyway. Maybe a blank page with his name on it. That's it.
