Syracuse University is preparing to rescind Rudy Giuliani’s honorary law degree, connected to his efforts to overturn the 2020 election and ties to former President Donald Trump.
The university, which awarded an honorary law degree to Mr. Giuliani in 1989, has begun a process to revoke honorary degrees this year, which follows a resolution passed by the University Senate calling for the Board of Trustees to revoke Mr. Giuliani’s degree.
The vote came after feedback was collected from students, the University Senate, and the Graduate Student Organization Senate over whether to begin the process to revoke honorary degrees.
