Boston College refuses to honor Mukasey.
The Boston Globe reports Boston College Law School will not award its
highest honor to Attorney General Michael Mukasey when he speaks at
its May commencement, “amid sharp criticism from students, faculty,
and alumni over his invitation.”
Mukasey’s appearance has been criticized for his position on torture:
Dan Roth, a 2004 Law School graduate, said that while he was pleased
by yesterday’s announcement, he believes that the school should have
rescinded Mukasey’s invitation altogether, because his position on
waterboarding conflicts with the university’s Jesuit mission.
“It’s not the time to give someone who has taken that position the
platform and the honor,” Roth said.
