Does the President Deserve an Honorary Degree from Arizona State?

Barry Goldwater received his honorary degree in May 1961, three years before his Republican nomination for president and only eight years into his three decades as a U.S. senator.

Sandra Day O’Connor was similarly recognized just three years in her 25 years on the U.S. Supreme Court.

But being elected the first black president of any country in the western world, and being elected president in a country where 60 years ago blacks could not vote, I guess that just does not meet the stringent criteria of Arizona State University?

You stay classy, ASU.
