Muhammad bin Nayif did not earn his BA degree from Lewis and Clark

Saudis on Twitter are having a field day.  It is now official that Muhammad bin Nayif, unlike his own cv did not graduate from Lewis and Clark.  I was suspicious because early reports in the Arabic press only indicated that he has a BA from an "American university" without naming it.  I was in the midst of trying to verify when Time magazine published this story that the university is now confirming that he didn't graduate.   Yet, the statement by the University is reeking with pathetic obsequiousness in the hope of Saudi financial contributions.  This corruption of Gulf royal degrees is rampant. Prince Turki bin Faysal did not graduate from Georgetown (although the university later awarded him an honorary degree).  I also believe that the graduate degree (from SAIS) by Bandar bin Sultan and the other from his brother Khalid (from Auburn University in Alabama) are also corrupt.  Of course, British universities are even more corrupt and Oxford University admitted a son of Shaykh Zayid of UAE knowing that he does not even speak English (they hired a tutor for him).  University of Exeter was the worst: it basically sold degrees to wealthy officials and royals in the Gulf.
