Howard University rescinds Sean Combs doctorate
By SNN.BZ STAFF
Along with losing financial sponsorships, Howard University’s Board of Trustees voted unanimously to rescind Sean Combs Honorary Degree. The university has returned Sean Combs’ $1 Million Dollar donation and voted to terminate all long term relationships they have had with the hip hop mogul.
HOWARD UNIVERSITY DISASSOCIATES FROM SEAN COMBS
“The Howard University Board of Trustees voted unanimously today to accept the return by Mr. Sean Combs of the honorary degree conferred upon him in 2014. This acceptance revokes all honors and privileges associated with the degree. Accordingly, the Board has directed that his name be removed from all documents listing honorary degree recipients of Howard University.
Mr. Combs’ behavior as captured in a recently released video is so fundamentally incompatible with Howard University’s core values and beliefs that he is deemed no longer worthy to hold the institution’s highest honor.
The University is unwavering in its opposition to all acts of interpersonal violence.
The Board has also directed the University administration to immediately take the following actions: terminate a 2016 gift agreement with Mr. Combs, disband the scholarship program in his name, return his $1 million contribution, and terminate a 2023 pledge agreement with the Sean Combs Foundation.
No payments toward the $1 million pledge have been due or made by the Sean Combs Foundation as of this date, therefore no funds are due to be returned under the 2023 pledge agreement.”
