My alma mater is, unfortunately, the same as Trump's. If anyone else were the first president from our school, there would be banners announcing that flying over the campus, but there hasn't been any public acknowledgment. The alumni magazine hasn't published any articles about him, mostly short ones by faculty on his policies and their effects. There was a war in the letters section for a while in 2017--some, mostly older, alumni thought it was wrong not to cover him and were angry about it, but some were unhappy that he was elected.
I think that Penn can get away with doing nothing because probably most alumni, faculty, and students are not Trump supporters, but KD is in a bind because there are many sisters on all points of the political spectrum, and it's tough not to acknowledge what is a huge honor for a sister, especially for an organization that encourages women's accomplishments. I thought that the initial post walked that line, for what it's worth.
