Jamie Sarkonak: Galloway’s accuser got an A+ but never actually finished her degree

As the writing and academic career of Steven Galloway entered a freefall from which it wouldn’t recover, his accuser was ushered to the finish line of her Master’s of Fine Arts (MFA) in creative writing with an incomplete thesis — and an A+ in the program.
