College drop out receives Ph. D.
 

Without ever going back to school except to pick up the sheep skin.


Completely and totally disgusting.

Look at the bright side, it is only an honorary degree and he cannot call himself Dr. West, or can he work it into one of his er.. songs?

Wonder if he gave any money to the Art Institute which might then explain it.

Of course. His PR managers negotiated just how much he would give. Probably not that much. There are other schools, after all.

Better than these Pastors who gives themselves the degree.

Colleges and universities hand out honorary degrees all the time. They don't mean anything, really, just a symbolic gesture in acknowledgement of something or other. Sometimes it's for achievements in a given field or maybe just for giving the school a pile of cash.

I really don't see the problem here unless it's just that you don't like the recipient.

I would like to ensure that he paid dearly for it, considering it is the Chicago Art Institute. But I don't consider him an artist but YMMV.

The guy has a huge ego. I guess he paid big.
