The University of Virginia has awarded posthumous degrees to honor Devin Chandler, Lavel Davis Jr. and D'Sean Perry, who were shot and killed last month.
Associate Dean for Undergraduate Academic Programs Rachel Most, who served as dean for all three players in the College of Arts & Sciences, made the request.
Chandler majored in American studies; Davis majored in African American and African studies; Perry double majored in studio art and in African American and African studies.
