Edit request on 23 May 2012
Please change:


 * alma_mater=Harvard University

to:


 * alma_mater=Cleveland State University

because she has her bachelors degree from Cleveland State University. She attended a 3-week training program at Harvard. Program participants do not receive college credit or grades, so it is in accurate to list "Harvard" as her alma mater. Here are a list of sources that confirm her true educational background as "Cleveland State" including references from Ohio's largest newspaper:
