Kanye West has lost friends, business deals and billions of dollars for his hatred, and now he can add losing an honorary college degree to his woes … cause the School of the Art Institute of Chicago has taken it away.
According to a school letter, obtained by TMZ, honchos decided to rescind Ye’s degree, stating, “His anti-Black, antisemitic, and incendiary statements, particularly those directed at Black and Jewish communities, are disgusting and condemnable”.
The letter, written by President Elissa Tenny, continues, “As a community, we know that there are varying opinions on what our School’s response should be––even as we all agree that his behavior is indefensible.”
The disgraced rapper was awarded an honorary doctorate back in 2015 for his accomplishments and contributions to art and culture, but Tenny notes, “his actions do not align with SAIC’s mission and values.”
As we reported, Kanye was on “Infowars” last week claiming his love for Hitler and Nazis.
Students at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago had reportedly started an online position to pull the honorary credential, racking up over 4K signatures.
