"In 1973 and 1976, the New York Times reported that Trump graduated first in his class in 1968 from the Wharton School of Finance."
Including the part you quote:
”For decades, the national media has reported that Trump graduated "first in his class" at Wharton, often confusing his undergraduate degree with the Ivy League university's top-ranked MBA program.
In 1973 and 1976, the New York Times reported that Trump graduated first in his class in 1968 from the Wharton School of Finance.
During campaign stops in Pennsylvania, Trump frequently said he was "a very smart guy" and knew the state well because he went to Wharton.
When PennLive tried to delve into his academic record in the summer, a school spokesman said it's university policy to not release such information other than confirming graduation. In Gwenda Blair's 2001 book, "The Trumps: Three Generations of Builders and a President," she said Trump transferred into Wharton from Fordham University with help from family connections. The president's older brother, Freddy Trump, knew an admissions counselor at Wharton, she said.
That book and some reports in the 1980s claimed Trump didn't graduate first in his class and didn't graduate with honors.
A 1968 commencement program shared Friday by the Daily Pennsylvanian backs that up. It shows that Trump graduated from the undergraduate school of finance and commerce, but he did not graduate at the top of his class or with honors.”
Many programs will only release information as to whether one was graduated from their school. Often they will not release information pertaining to whether one was graduated with honors, etc.

Tell me how many programs list those who graduate with honors, high honors, and highest honors in the commencement program but don’t have the top student listed among those groups (and student who would necessarily be in the summa group).

Many top students request their schools not release information like that because they will be targeted by gold diggers. Women will see that Joe Schmo graduated with highest honors and they will go after those valedictorians.
I read it as the reason Dems have turned on Homan is because he is working for Trump.
TDS.
Who has “turned on” him?
Human has done plenty of good work before and may very well do good work now. He’s not serving a man of principle, and there are a lot of really suspect people involved in the administration’s deportation policy, so that may hamper his efforts. He’s also coming in to manage something that was bungled from the start. But I like the odds of good work with him better than with anyone he’s supplanting.
But then, if you’re looking for how “Dems” feel, I suppose I’m the wrong guy to ask, and anyway the Dems I know aren’t uniform in the way they think except for all of them distrusting Trump himself (not every single member of his administration, though) , and hardly any of them are even remotely close to the caricature of Dems bandied about by the right wing brain trust here.

Trump never made Dean’s list. Not even a good semester. Cope harder
I remember hundreds of thousands of people being awful about any number of things and millions upon millions of people across the political spectrum actually being decent people and not being like the terminally online trolls flinging feces at each other. All these acts of violence are horrifying to the vast majority of us.
Dear God, Democrats and Republicans in my neighborhood (town generally) babysit each others’ kids, go to the same congregation, sit side by side on parent teacher night and at sporting events and kids’ concerts, etc. — and a bunch of trolls online act as though they are different species who should be sworn enemies at each others’ throats … you know, just what America’s enemies would love to see.

They are absolutely more similar than people realize. And make no mistake, the vast majority of people are horrified at what took place this past weekend and are sickened by the tactics that ICE is using under the Trump administration.
