Tufts Rescinds Honorary Degree for Lance Armstrong
November 21, 2012
The Tufts University Board of Trustees has unanimously voted to rescind the honorary degree awarded to Lance Armstrong at commencement in 2006. "While continuing to respect the significant work of the Lance Armstrong Foundation, the board concluded that, in the wake of the recent report of the United States Anti-Doping Agency and its acceptance by the International Cycling Union, Mr. Armstrong's actions as an athlete are inconsistent with the values of Tufts University," said a university spokeswoman.
