Should state universities be allowed to award honorary degrees?
Asked at Massachusetts Street on May 25, 2010
“Yes, if the other states are allowing it then there’s no reason that Kansas shouldn’t.”
“Yes, they should because some people are worthy of being honored, even though they may not have done all the necessary course work, but their life’s achievements may have qualified them.”
“Yes, if they feel like they deserve it enough and don’t overdo it handing out the awards.”
“If it is an honorary degree in something that the university is well-known for or excels in, then I don’t have a problem with it.”

No. It's like a brothel saying "you're our best customer" It's cheap, dirty, and demeaning.

Hey Spacehog, yesterday was Bob Dylan's birthday. I hope you celebrated, sent him a card or something. Honorary degrees, no problem, just a gesture, like a key to the City.
I think my degree from KU was honorary. I was a bad student, but I paid enough tuition they gave me a diploma and told to keep it quiet and not come back.

After 4 years and $40,000 worth of debt; the school I went to had the cojones to charge $60 for the diploma/cap gown. Why is it that cereals give out prizes with their junk but colleges don't?

An Ichabod is a abolitionist industrial philanthropist from Massachusetts.
The difference between a philanthropist and a philanderer is just who gets the money.
