After organizing at a meeting earlier this week, students have created the Coalition for a Responsible Washington University in order to protest the University's decision to award an honorary degree to Phyllis Schlafly.

The University's announcement that alumna and leader of the national conservative movement Phyllis Schlafly will receive an honorary degree has spurred students to protest and led several professors to announce their intention to boycott commencement exercises.

I am putting my diploma up for sale to the highest bidder! Doesn't that have a familiar ring? Bidding starts at $100,000 (inflated to match the egos of those who should be ashamed…) But I will settle for much, much less (deflated to match actual value). (2) comments
I am mystified that Washington University in St. Louis is choosing to honor someone who believes that women should not enjoy the full rights that men enjoy and that it is impossible for husbands to rape their wives. This sends a terrible message to the young women Wash. U. is trying to educate and to other bright young women we would like to recruit to join our university. (4) comments
