Donald Trump has been saying a
lot of crappy stuff all through his campaign and he has been getting away with them. But, his latest remak that muslims should be barred from entering the USA might just be the last straw that breaks
the camel’s back.
Heavy criticisms have trailed his
latest remark and now, a Scottish University which awarded Donald Trump with an
honorary degree in 2010 has confirmed it is revoking it due to his
controversial remarks about muslims.
The University, Robert Gordon
University (RGU) in Aberdeen presented the the award of Doctor of Business
Administration (Hon DBA) to Mr. Trump in 2010. At the time, the Vice chancellor
said:
“Given that business and
entrepreneurship lie at the heart of much of the university’s academic
offering, it is only fitting to award Mr. Trump with an honorary degree.
“He is recognised as one of the
World’s top businessmen, and our students –the entrepreneurs of tomorrow – can learn
much from his business acumen, drive, and focus.”
Fast forward to December 2015 and
a spokesman of the school has mow released a statement that:
“In 2010, Robert Gordon
University awarded an honorary DBA to Mr. Donald Trump in recognition of his
achievements as an entrepreneur and businessman
“In the course of the current US
election campaign, Mr Trump has made a number of statements that are wholly
incompatible with the ethos and values of the University. The University has
therefore decided to revoke its award of the honorary degree.”
This is coming shortly after Scotland’s First
Minister Nicola Sturgeon also stripped Mr. Trump from his role as a business
ambassador for the same reason.
