Lehigh Faculty Votes to Revoke Trump Honor
A large majority of faculty members at Lehigh University (PA) have voted to revoke the honorary degree presented to Donald Trump in 1988. The issue has been periodically debated since Trump became a national political figure. Many students, faculty members and alumni called for the degree to be revoked after Trump suggested that there were two equal sides in the violence last year in Charlottesville, Va. In October the university's board rejected the idea.
