Robert Gordon University Revokes Donald Trump's Honorary Degree


As with many choosing to cut ties with the presidential candidate, Robert Gordon University (RGU) has chosen to revoke the honorary degree given to Donald Trump. Continue to see the communique the school sent out to their students.

Dear Student,

The University has just issued the following statement: “In 2010 Robert Gordon University awarded an honorary DBA to Mr Donald Trump, in recognition of his achievements as an entrepreneur and businessman. In the course of the current US election campaign, Mr Trump has made a number of statements that are wholly incompatible with the ethos and values of the university. The university has therefore decided to revoke its award of the honorary degree.” 

Kind regards
Jonathan Jonathan Shackleton
