Discussion: St. Lawrence Alumni, Faculty Ask School To Rescind Collins' Honorary Degree

“St. Lawrence “has never rescinded any earned or honorary degree”

Sometimes change can come easy. Never say never.

gave … in thanks for her efforts

I have little use for Susan Collins, but I have similarly little use for honorary degrees, especially one given (apparently rather explicitly) as a political thank-you.

St. Lawrence happily stuck their neck out for Senator Collins, knowing full well what’s in her nature. Scorpion stung back. Oops. I’m not sure that mark of bad judgement should fade so easily.

And if they did, it would make the well deserved burn that much more significant…

That’s a lot of people who are going to be knocking on doors to campaign for her opponent.

Well, it would be, except that St. Lawrence University is in New York, not Maine. Of course, you wouldn’t be able to tell that from the article. You’d have to know it already. Anyway, how many of these people are residents of Maine is unknown.

The fact that it’s not in Mainel, makes it even worse.

Rescind the degree. Then later vote her out. Unfortunately even after that, her stacking-the-Supreme-court legacy will live a long time.

Her reputation has been updated accordingly.

Many cheers to St. Lawrence University in beautiful North Country :tada: :confetti_ball:

I’m confident my son’s one of the alumni, leading the charge!!

the honorary degree the school gave to Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) in 2017 in thanks for her efforts to keep Republicans from repealing Obamacare.

The university told the Associated Press on Tuesday that the school is “non-partisan”

St Lawrence gives an honorary degree based on politics, but refuses to rescind this political decision because they are non-partisan.
Yeah, right.

Now watch the college ask alumni for money and get all hurt when they are told to ram it.
