Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani and retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn will no longer hold honorary degrees from the University of Rhode Island, the school announced Friday. The Board of Trustees and the president approved the motion after an investigation by the URI Honorary Degree Committee.
"The Board of Trustees supports the University and its mission to uphold its values, especially its commitment to intellectual and ethical leadership and fostering an environment of diversity and respect," Jim Watson/AFP and Tom Williams/CQ Roll Call via Getty Images President Marc Parlange said he agreed with their decision, writing,"they no longer represent the highest level of our values and standards that were evident when we first bestowed the degree."
"As a civic institution, URI has the privilege and responsibility to sustain and preserve American democracy by inspiring and modeling good citizenship," Parlange said."Revoking these honorary degrees reinforces our values and allows us to lead with truth and integrity."
🖕The 'University' of Rhode Island🖕
👏👏👏
Only Trump and his cult would want to be associated with these two clowns.
I’m sure they are upset
And nobody cares…
Just like in china it’s starting here = they will erase you! And fools want them to control their health care! Just imagine the control that they would have
No honor for the lier.
Oh yeah, that's punishing them. 🙄
The Democrat party & Progressives will NEVER solve poverty and Inequality because they would be putting themselves out of work . . . The work of promising these things. . . Century after century 😂 What a joke.
progressives idea of voting rights is to have a free-for-all with no accountability and no identification at the polls. While they cry 'voter suppression' what they're offering is a bill to legalize cheating in elections; A, 'Voters cheating rights bill,' & Crying the opposite 😂
How will they ever contain themselves? College these days is more about indoctrination than education. Pretty sure they couldn't care less.
America's top scholars and institutions unfortunately, cannot be connected in any way to either of them, any longer. Sad fall from grace. They can seek redemption, however.
Did they earn them or deserve them then? Well you people should know you can't and shouldn't go back and change history. Live life today and tomorrow and the next.
Driven by my curiosity I took the first step by trying with just $3000 and it went well I can now boast of earning even in my sleep ! I received $21,900 in just 7 days with Geoffrey100k
AWESOME! This is the kind of stuff that needs to happen to all of these basturds! Revoke, provoke, demote, stop any perk or free-bee because of who they are & what they did! Bring them back to earth!
Now Not on January 7 !!
Another leftist university gone to the dogs
Who cares. I’m sure they don’t
😂😂😂😂
Geez, about bloody time
Univ of Rhode Island is Anti-American. Just another example of Democrat hypocrisy
Liberal universities are out of touch with America.
Good
As much as I don't like these minions ...what kind of 'satisfaction' revoking fake titles to these clowns?
lifesafeast Rudy face look like the skin removed from a tummy tuck 👀
Don’t worry Trump University will restore Rudy and Flynn’s honorary degrees. A Doctorate of Imbecilic Studies will be given out.
putmygamefaceon Maybe universities should be a bit more reserved in their honoring of degrees…and not give them out to the ice cream flavor of the month.
If you earn a real degree it can’t be revoked. Honorary degrees are stupid and should ONLY be given when a historian/author etc clearly has done research and publishing that is degree-worthy. Such as: Tom Stoppard, Bill Gates. Not to mere famous people.
I don't think they really care. Want to punish them for trying to overthrow the election results/democracy? Take their money, take their freedom
Don't worry guys. You will get new honorary degrees from Trump University. Oh, wait...
That’s so woke
Didn't Epstein have a honorary degree too.
Who would want one,URI was known as a party school,with most students thinking Connecticut wasn't one of New England states!
SethMacFarlane Gotta imagine Peter would have an entertaining take on this.
country_ca Because they have no 'honor' right? That's why they're revoking them.
Ouch
Good
Petty
These people need to be shunned by every element of civil society for the rest of their lives.
eyad1949 Why 🤔
Honorary degrees are as meaningful as an actual degree from the University of Rhode Island.
What were the degrees for Lying?
Shhhh. Is that the sound of walls closing in and the house of cards collapsing?
Are they paying back the cost of tuition?
What took the University of Rhode Island so long?
🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😅😅😅😅😅😅‼️‼️‼️😅😅😅😅😅😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣‼️‼️‼️
About time!
When Trump wins the next election, would they get it back?
Pulling their Honorary Degrees only proves the University's 'suck up' skills
Revoked.. they waited all these years for what ? Proof of their Jan 6 insurrection partnership or.. University’s are always slow in reacting to anything..
That they gave the honorary degrees to these 2 very troubling characters in the first place, should be even more bothering than retracting them.
Good.
