In the Congressional race in the Evergreen State’s 8th district, Republican incumbent David G. Reichert’s campaign has challenged an assertion made by Darcy G. Burner ’96 that she received an economics degree from Harvard.
Burner graduated from the College with a degree in computer science, specializing in economics.
“I loved economics so much that I got a degree in it from Harvard,” she said.
Burner’s biography on her campaign’s Web site also states that “she earned a degree in computer science and economics” while at Harvard.
Computer Science Professor Harry R. Lewis ’68 agreed in a phone interview that Burner did not actually have a degree in economics, but said that he did not think that it was a big deal.
