I think they're somewhat stupid, but it obviously doesn't cheapen the degrees we earn. Its gotten to the point where its mostly a symbolic gesture like giving someone a key to a city.
Thats the biggest problem I have here, it seems like the faculty turned what is traditionally a kind gesture into an embarrassment for the former governor. Now if this was something pushed for by Jeb and his people, thats one thing, but otherwise it seems like people who disliked Bush and his policies allowed this to become a spectacle.
