    Why does it depend on how they were protesting? Why is violence relevant to a university degree in the first place?

    A degree should only be revoked in the case of cheating or other cases of gross scientific missconduct relating to said degree, no?

    For example, I think the unabomber was a terrible human being, but his crimes should be handled by the police. Not by the uneversites he worked for or got his degree from.

    This very much resembles some sort of social credit system.

      You’re speaking to a right-winger, a master of hypocrisy and doublethink. Don’t wear out your keyboard.

        Good idea! Let’s take their high school degree too, while we’re at it. Maybe revoke citizenship? Let’s see what else we can think of

        Dropping the /s, this is a form of double punishment which is or at least should be illegal (not from the US, so I don’t know local laws). If someone without a university degree commits a crime, they should get the same punishment.
