Depends how they were protesting, if they were doing it peacefully this should be called out, but if they were causing property damage its understandable that they don't want to associate with the students. The students should get compensation though.
Oh my stars, the decorum!
Palestine under attack: s'all good man
Not liking it: hold on now, let's take a closer look at why you dislike a genocide
Why does it depend on how they were protesting? Why is violence relevant to a university degree in the first place?
A degree should only be revoked in the case of cheating or other cases of gross scientific missconduct relating to said degree, no?
For example, I think the unabomber was a terrible human being, but his crimes should be handled by the police. Not by the uneversites he worked for or got his degree from.
This very much resembles some sort of social credit system.
You're speaking to a right-winger, a master of hypocrisy and doublethink. Don't wear out your keyboard.
You know what, you're right. The university should only withhold or cancel their academic studies if the student was first found guilty through trial of violent protesting (or otherwise illegal forms of protesting). Otherwise the university shouldn't have the authority to withhold it from them.
Good idea! Let's take their high school degree too, while we're at it. Maybe revoke citizenship? Let's see what else we can think of
Dropping the /s, this is a form of double punishment which is or at least should be illegal (not from the US, so I don't know local laws). If someone without a university degree commits a crime, they should get the same punishment.
I think you're missing the point... Political actions after they've received a degree should be irrelevant to said degree.
Innocent until proven guilty. No one should be expelled from ANY school for protesting.
Only until they have been found guilty of the crimes you mentioned.
This is exactly how I think it should be, unless they have substantial evidence to show they were violently protesting, there should be no repercussions for doing so.
Revoke the J6 insurrectionists, got it
