The Chicago Art Institute has rescinded the honorary doctorate they extended to Kanye West in May 2015. Following Kanye’s anti-black and anti-semitic comments, TMZ received a letter from the school that read: “anti-Black, antisemitic, and incendiary statements, particularly those directed at Black and Jewish communities, are disgusting and condemnable.” Elissa Tenny, the school’s president, wrote, “As a community, we know that there are varying opinions on what our School’s response should be––even as we all agree that his behavior is indefensible.”
