2 Richard A. BinghamAs a graduate of the University of Massachusetts at Amherst (Class of 1970), I am appalled that my school wants to honor a man who is responsible for a Bush Administration misinformation campaign about Iraq that has resulted in the deaths of thousands of American soldiers & untold numbers of Iraqi civilians. Please withdraw the offer.

9 Bradley DuncanI was educated in the Five College Consortium and I strongly object to any honor being given to Andrew Card. I know many, many alumni agree with me.
10 Jane SlaughterThe word "ethical" in the decree should eliminate anyone from the Oval Office from consideration.
11 Carl StammAndrew Card is responsible for the lies and distortions that led to the Iraq war and occupation. He is therefore not eligible for an honorary degree which can be awarded only to "persons of great accomplishment and high ethical standards who exemplify the ideals of the University of Massachusetts".

21 Nancy FeltonIt is disgraceful and a dishonor to those receiving graduate degrees from the University of Massachusetts to be awarding an honorary degree to Andrew Card. I do not believe he or the adminstration he was a part of have shown high ethical standards.
22 John Donahoe
23 Kirsten SmithAs a Massachusetts taxpayer, I deplore the offering of this honorary degree.
24 Travis C. RoyAndrew Card was the lead disinformation specialist for a war pushed by an administration severely hampered by conflicts of interest. He clearly does not meet the qualifications of "high ethical standards".
25 AnnaMarie RussoThe University should never have offered an honorary degree to Andrew Card, given the large but thoroughly dishonorable role he played in promoting the lies and deceptions contrived by the Bush Administration to sell the war in Iraq to the US Congress and the American People.

27 Michele Spring-MooreOf all the people in the world who could receive an honorary degree from our public university, why a war criminal? Is this a good example of an ethical person for our university students and community members? I think not.

37 Carl MoosAs an Emeritus Professor from State Univ. of NY, I find it outrageous that a respected major university like UMass would give any honor to a man like Andrew Card!
