Is it possible to check how many convicted thieves, rapists and/or murderers still hold their degrees? You know, just for fun, to see where their priorities are...
I'd say check the nazis too but theyre more of the education by "faith" types than education by actual education.
In all seriousness though, has a US university ever stripped a nazi or holocaust denyer of their degree? Surely that ideology is just as, if not more harmful?
I think there are some cases, not these 22 students of course, but some cases that do warrant revoking a degree over moral implications. I'm rarely one to agree with blanket statements.
Imo such cases would be when someone can prove that you didn’t earn your degree honestly, or when you have amassed a history of academic dishonesty after the fact. But personally I don’t think crimes (even murder) should result in you losing your degree.
