And thanks for this one. In this it is claimed that Walker lacked the initiative to go finish his degree. In the link you have now supplied it says this about his uncompleted degree:

Walker insists he left on his own just one semester shy of a degree as part of a career decision unrelated to any political future...an average student who was indifferent to some classes, Walker was not on track to graduate in four years. Walker actually has about a year left in school, maybe more, based on Marquette records and available evidence -- considerably more than the 15 to 17 credits he mentions to interviewers...In January 2013, Walker said in his annual "state of the state" speech that, "I thought I would squeeze in a course here or there and finish things off in a year or two, but then Tonette and I got married."

A story in Time made a similar point after its reporter interviewed Walker. After taking the Red Cross job in 1990, the story said, "at first he tried to be a part time student, but quickly the births of his children took that option off the table."

In reality, Walker didn’t marry until 1993, and his first of two sons arrived in 1994.

That gave him several years to take classes before family obligations or his government career began.


So I would say that Governor Walker has never really explained why he left school and never went back. He did admit to being indifferent in classes. So I think the post was accurate in mentioning he lacked the initiative to go finish his degree but was inaccurate in saying he lacks only a few credits. The governor has refused to release his college transcripts following on the example of President Barack Obama perhaps.
