This is great! Okay first of all, to any ASU people on sharenotes.com feel free to defend yourself and reply! Apparently President Obama is speaking at ASU this week and although it’s almost customary for a school to bestow “Honarary Degrees” to people like the president when visiting, ASU has opted not to, stating that his body of work is yet to be determined.
This stirred up a little controversy as you might imagine, I’m sure most of you in the sharenotes community have heard a little about this story by now. The ever sharp Daily Show took on the story and the results of the report or hilarious as usual. Check it out. Again ASU people on sharenotes.com what do you think? I know the Daily Show is using satire to make light of the situation, but do you agree? Disagree? Sound off!

I do agree that honorary degrees have become devalued- they are given to random celebrities left and right. But come on, it’s the Prez!
