This list is wholly inaccurate in that it does not make distinctions between those who received undergraduate degrees and those that attended Northwestern's graduate schools. For instance, Jerry Springer graduated from Tulane University and received his J.D. from Northwestern University, but is not listed under the "law" section. This occurs, I believe, in multiple other occassions.

Damn boy, I just beefed!

Beefed, huh? I hope that worked out for you. In regards to your criticism above, just because the list does not make distinctions between those who received undergraduate degrees and those that attended Northwestern's graduate schools, does not make the list "wholly inaccurate". Insofar as each individual attended Northwestern University, it does not even make it partially inaccurate. If anything, it simply makes this section incomplete and unorganized. To that end, if you're up for it, I'd be willing to jointly work with you to track down all the relevant degree information and update the list accordingly.
