I agree that honorary degrees are kind of stupid. I do think its ridiculous that Jeb didn't get one though. Their excuse was that he didn't really help UF that much (despite the big gains made at the school while he was governor), which is a thinly veiled code for "we're far left and we don't like him cause his last name is Bush." I hate it when professors act as though they represent the university as a whole. I remember when Cheney came to speak at graduation at AU, some professors were talking about how we don't want him at Auburn, ignoring the fact that most everyone but them did want him to come. Professors usually exist on the fringe of a school's overall ideology.
