This honorary doctorate was awarded to the rapper in 2015.The decision was made in response to a change.org petition started by members of the SAIC community for SAIC President Elissa Tenny to revoke West's honorary degree in light of his recent anti-Semitic remarks."We informed the SAIC community this morning," a school spokeswoman told the Sun-Times, reported The Hollywood Reporter."This award bestows the legitimacy and luster of the School on a figure who has in recent months has made repeated public statements expressing and justifying anti-Semetism. Regardless of his contributions prior to receipt of this award, it is harmful to allow Ye, as he is presently known, to continue to use the School of the Art Institute of Chicago to help legitimize hatred and violence," the petition partly read, according to the outlet.( With inputs from ANI )Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
