Howard University has revoked the honorary degree conferred upon Sean “Diddy' Combs as the rapper faces numerous criminal charges.
Howard University announced Friday that it has revoked the honorary degree conferred upon Sean 'Diddy' Combs following a unanimous vote by its Board of Trustees. This decision comes after a recently released video showing the rapper assaulting his ex-girlfriend in a hotel, behavior that the university deemed fundamentally incompatible with its core values.
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,' a university spokesperson told Fox DC. '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.
