Until recently, the city website for Los Angeles City Councilman John Lee described him as a graduate of Cal State Northridge, one of several schools he attended in the San Fernando Valley. But Lee stopped short of getting his degree, according to a CSUN spokeswoman. During his campaign, “I have always been and continue to be extremely careful to ensure that no campaign materials state that I graduated from CSUN,” the councilman said. He is now facing a rematch against Loraine Lundquist, a CSUN educator and astrophysicist who is running for the seat again this March. The councilman said he later enrolled in a class to get his needed credits but was unable to complete it because his mother needed help from him.
