Lehigh University rescinds Donald Trump’s honorary degree days after Capitol attack Daniel Patrick Sheehan and Michelle Merlin, The Morning Call © Dreamstime/Dreamstime/TNS Alumni Memorial Building at Lehigh University in Pennsylvania. ALLENTOWN, Pa. Just days after Wednesday’s insurrection at the U.S. Capitol, the Lehigh University Board of Trustees has rescinded the honorary degree granted to President Donald Trump three decades ago, a move sought by many members of the school community since Trump won the White House. The school awarded the degree in 1988. In 2018, faculty voted by a wide margin to urge the Bethlehem school’s trustees to rescind it, calling some of Trump’s statements racist, sexist and Islamophobic and not representative of the school’s values.
