UF says 'no degree for you!' to Jeb

[Drolefille]

I get the idea of giving a speaker at graduation an honorary degree (not sure WHY but ok it's a tradition). The article doesn't say why they'd even be giving him a degree in the first place. If it was for no particular or traditional reason I don't know why they'd give him one.

EDIT: I went back and it seems like they give out a few honoraries every year and it sounds like the voters were split on whether he'd actually helped or hurt the university. Sounds reasonable to me. Those are the issues I'd base my vote on.

/edit

A lot of people from Florida don't like him for what he's done in office, not because of his relatives. True, the fact that he's a Bush doesn't help, but from the complaints I've heard over the past years, it's not just that.
