ASU won't give President Obama an honorary degree when he gives a speech for graduates next month. They said he, wait for it, doesn't have enough experience! ASU, which is in Arizona home to defeated John McCain, is now playing by the Republican handbook?
Interesting who they've chosen in the past:
Past recipients of ASU honorary degrees included an aloe-vera magnate, the director of "Victor Victoria," a Chinese official, a Canadian politician, and lots of donors and fundraisers.
"University spokeswoman Sharon Keeler said Tuesday that the University awards honorary degrees to recognize individuals for their work and accomplishments spanning their lifetime. ‘Because President Obama’s body of work is yet to come, it’s inappropriate to recognize him at this time,' Keeler said."
As you can imagine, ASU is trying to deal with the sh*tstorm that resulted from such idiotic comments.
