We found out he has a legit bach degree for an English major. I seem to recall he dropped out/transferred from a Psych degree prior to it (or lied about that). He was going for a Masters in English when his psychotic behavior got him forced to take a screening, which he refused to do and walked away from college over it. Yes. Jonathan Mack Sweet walked away from college. He wasn't kicked or removed due to conspiracy. The delusional senile manchild conflated his getting kicked from a newspaper over a genuine issue with an event that actually happened a year later.
As for why Jonny is so attached to the place, even though it was actually not that good by college standards, it's because he was that destitute. He was so poor that the college felt like an absolute luxury to him. A TV with no rabbit ears and a big ass screen, a shit ton of channels, real people food rather than Hungry Man, and his own bed in a slightly nicer situation (his house is a fucking wreck). He also thought he had a girlfriend on call even though that was genuinely a troll fucking with him. On top of that, he had people he could force his way into the midst of and chat their heads off. He's an utter hermit now, which helped contribute to his psychosis.
Don't forget the state-of-art computer lab!
To summarize, for those of you just joining us on the Chronic Failure Channel, Sweet was removed from a non-paying position on the ASU Herald (a twice-weekly campus paper, to which he only contributed a few columns, I don't recall how many) for plagiarism. He wrote a very racist column satirizing the then new TV ratings system, the idea of which was blatantly ripped off from Saturday Night Live. When confronted over this, he confessed, and his confession is on file at ASU.
Apparently, he did not realize that confessing would have real and serious consequences, because he was summarily dismissed from the staff of the paper upon confessing, much to his surprise and dismay. He now insists he hasn't seen the sketch, and therefore it doesn't exist. Linking him to clips of it does nothing to convince him, as he thinks he was such a threat to "the System" that he rails against, that he entertains the possibility that NBC colluded with ASU to produce a fake sketch after the fact solely to discredit him.
Upon his dismissal, Sweet embarked on a four-semester campaign of threats and harassment against those whom he felt had wronged him. During this time, Sweet took a creative class, and the instructor quickly realized that all his stories were thinly-disguised revenge fantasies against the Herald staff. Somehow, despite this campaign of sociopathic behavior, Sweet managed to both graduate with a bachelor's degree in English, and get into graduate school, which was part of his plan to be a career student. However, his dream of eternal college life was cut short when the college finally grew tired of his campaign of terror against people for doing their jobs, and ordered him to get a psychological evaluation. He claims it would have cost him $500, however this is in dispute. Regardless, he did not get the evaluation, and he was expelled.
This was not the end of the story. Cast out of the promised land, Sweet began his decent into madness that molded him into the dysfunctional cave-dwelling manchild we know and mock today. He began harassing everyone at ASU he felt was involved in the nebulous conspiracy to kick him out for having conservative views. He began contacting the parents of people he thought had wronged him, and also contacted the employers of people who had pissed him off. His war against ASU resulted in ASU campus police visiting his house at least once, and he has outstanding warrants in the county where ASU is located, however, we haven't been able to find out what they're for. So Sweet now sits and rails at the world on Deviant Art since AJM studios was shut down due to him, and we laugh at him.
