I don't know if you have looked at the story but thousands of students, alumni, and staff protested before and during the ceremony. its not right for a few members of the board to ignore every else involved with the school. nor is it right to give a degree and then say 'we don't support her'.

What of the students who supported the lady and her getting an honorary degree?
Staff at a university, reminds me of the 80 professors at Duke who wrote a letter condemning the Duke lacrasse players.
