Benjamin. People get honorary degrees for contributing to what every the art or sport is. Herbie Hancock received one from Juilliard. Because if his contribution to jazz music. Other's who have received honorary degrees. J.K. Rowling. Albert Einstein, Walt Disney, Stephen W. Hawking. It's obvious those giving the degrees wanted to be associated with the recipients. Trumps honorary black belt is both disgusting and disgraceful. I really home those who have actually earned their degrees from that dojo return them and seek other dojos to re earn them back.
