A Long Island doctor is suing the University of Rochester for $200,000 over the school’s failure to award his sons summa cum laude status despite their stellar GPAs. The school says it is correcting the oversight and claims it wasn’t aware of the problem until a reporter alerted it to the lawsuit. [New York Post]

“Magna cum Lawsuit”
” and that the “unwarranted failure to award Latinate honors” caused them “mental anguish, psychological and emotional trauma,” according to court papers.”
Wow, they sound kinda fragile. Despite all their brilliance perhaps prospective employers should be kinda leery about employing these twerps.
Did the students or the father even think of notifying the school first before filing a lawsuit?
Oh, my bad.
That would be too logical.
So the father gets a Mexican medical degree advertised in the first sentence of the story. Somehow I do not think that is the outcome he was looking for.
College graduates are presumably not minors. Even if the suit has merit, since when does the father have standing to sue?
