The School of the Art Institute of Chicago has rescinded Kanye West’s honorary doctorate degree at the college.
The degree, which was issued to Mr West on May 11, 2015 has now been rescinded following his recent anti-Semitic slurs
The school shared in a statement: “The School of the Art Institute of Chicago condemns and repudiates Kanye West’s (now know as Ye) anti-Black, antisemitic, racist, and dangerous statements, particularly those directed at Black and Jewish communities.
“Ye’s actions do not align with SAIC’s mission and values, and we’ve rescinded his honorary degree.”
