University revokes honorary degrees for Giuliani and Flynn
The University of Rhode Island is revoking honorary degrees bestowed upon two once-prominent advisers to former President Donald Trump: retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn and former New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani.
The university’s board of trustees voted Friday to revoke the degrees following internal deliberations that included a recommendation by URI President Marc Parlange.
The president said in a statement that Flynn and Giuliani “no longer represent” the values and standards they demonstrated when they first received the honors.
