Did he graduate from Texas Tech University School of Journalism? "Hall of Fame" induction story at dot-edu site implies not

[edit]

Did Scott Pelley graduate or just "attend" B.A. classes/program? Why didn't he complete requirements in lieu of following college course minimums? Were his early jobs more important than submitting Senior Year course choices?

Here's the posted BIO paragraph at CBS News dot-com :

Scott Pelley was born in San Antonio, Texas, and attended journalism school at Texas Tech University. He and his wife, Jane Boone Pelley, have a son and a daughter.

He was honored in 2006 as far as "Hall of Fame" for Texas Tech School of Journalism but the Alumni/alumnae magazine posting doesn't indicate that he returned to get his B.A.

Multiple reliable, third-party sources state that he is a Texas Tech graduate. See these Google search results. →Wordbuilder (talk) 14:33, 6 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
However, this article states that he, indeed, did not graduate. →Wordbuilder (talk) 14:35, 6 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Wordbuilder I think you were right. According to that article you shared from Texas Tech, Pelley says in his own words: “At that point I was offered a job at the NBC station in Dallas, the 10th market in the country, so I made a difficult decision and left Tech without finishing my degree.”
He definitely did not finish his degree. I think a change should be reflected. Lasalleexplorer (talk) 02:51, 31 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I agree. →Wordbuilder (talk) 15:43, 31 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

That section seems pretty light. What was the impetus? Toddst1 (talk) 21:51, 28 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
