Or standards on character, for that matter.The faculty at Lehigh University has voted that the college should rescind President Trump's honorary degree.
Faculty voted online, with 83 percent of respondents saying the university should rescind the degree the president received in 1988, WFMZ-TV reported.
The vote had a 76 percent response rate among the faculty, according to the publication.
Faculty members had argued that Trump's actions do not fall in line with the university's character or standards.
The Hill
Yes, well, boards and faculty are very distinct creatures. I'm guessing the board will ignore this vote, too.The results of the vote will now be presented to the university's Board of Trustees, according to the publication.
Last year, nearly 35,000 people signed a petition urging the board to rescind Trump's honorary degree.
The board chose to take no action last October, saying at the time the university "encourages respectful dialogue, discussion, and learning about important societal issues."
...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
