Clinton enters degree dispute

Article Abstract:

U.S. postgraduate student Lawrence McCann was upset by London Business School's (LBS) decision to fail his master's degree as his studies were disrupted because of a severe car accident. He lodged a complaint with the Office for the Independent Adjudicator and approached Barbara Lifton, a member of New York State Assembly to look into the case. Senator Hillary Clinton has also been involved in the case, demanding a review by LBS.
