Howard University’s board of trustees voted on Friday to rescind rapper Sean “Diddy” Combs’s honorary degree, as the music mogul faces a raft of lawsuits accusing him of sexual misconduct and other illegal activity.
“Mr. Combs’ behavior, as captured in a recently released video, is so fundamentally incompatible with Howard University’s core values and beliefs that he is deemed no longer worthy to hold the institution’s highest honor,” the board said in a statement to the student Hilltop newspaper.
