KIRKWOOD COMMUNITY COLLEGE – As fall classes resume, area community college students have once again begun lying about their University of Iowa enrollment statuses in an effort to not look so pathetic.
“Seriously, I’m going to be at Iowa next semester,” Kirkwood Community College student Donald Douthy, 23, was overheard telling a friend on Sunday. In a separate occurrence later that day, Douthy was also overheard telling a group of incoming freshman girls that he currently is an Iowa student.
Official academic transcripts received by The Iowa Iowan tell a much different story. In his four-year college career, Douthy has managed to attain 18 semester hours’ worth of credit, maintaining a 2.31 overall grade point average.
Douthy’s only “A” on record was received in the course “Basic Math for Automotive Mechanics,” in 2009.
When confronted by Iowa Iowan staff, Douthy, wearing an Iowa hooded sweatshirt, began mumbling incoherently before slinking back towards Kirkwood’s Iowa City campus.
