455 Dr. Tom NeilsonThere is nothing about Andrew Card to honor, with a degree or otherwise. He is a war criminal. He is a liar. He has violated the Constitution. I can only assume that the US gov't has promised big bucks for this honorary degree. Why else would you do it? If Card is what you consider to be fit for a UMass honorary degree, I am embarrassed to be an alumni. I assure you there will be no contributions from me, not even with sports teams that I have followed faithfully. I am putting away my maroon and will support Amherst College teams. I am really angry at this travesty. No honorary degree can remove the violence he has crafted. Sincerely, Dr. Tom Neilson, 88

460 Tom Gardner, Ph.D. 2005For most of the civilized world, engaging in a deceptive, illegal campaign that leads to the slaughter of thousands would earn at least murder in the first degree. For UMASS, it leads to an honorary degree.
461 Wm. Bruce TemplerI feel that your University is sending the wrong message to the public . Please reconsider. Thank you.
462 Suzanne R. CarlsonI am in deepest solidarity with the U Mass. faculty and staff who urge the Administration to live up to its standard and policy by immediately revoking the offer of an honorary degree to Andrew H. Card, Jr. and make a public statement of apology for their previous error (offering the degree).

465 Michael QuirkAndrew Card is a man of low ethical standards and to reward him with an honorary degree degrades the students ot the university. This is a man who considers the bill of rights a nuisance. Shame on the people responsible for this invitation.
466 Karen FoxThe idea that Card meets the requirements is so absurd that it is reasonable to suspect that money has changed hands here.

470 Anonymousthis is disgusting. We will come block traffic and let the visiting families know about this. with all the great deserving people out there why did your university bow down and decide to do this. let me guess (Republican Club? ,$$$$?, or is it ignorance to the facts?)
471 Gary LaponThere is no honor in being a war criminal.

473 Lawrence La Fountain-StokesPlease do not honor Andrew H. Card, Jr.
474 Erin BrownAs a university graduate student in academia, I am appalled at the decision to honor Andrew Card. Please revoke the offer and restore dignity and ethics to this degree.

479 Emmett J. MurphyAs a former professor at the University, and former Five College Coordinator, I am deeply disappointed at the University's decision to award the honorary degree to Card. He was complicit in many of Bush's unethical - - possibly criminal - - misdeeds. It sullies the reputation of a university to award him an honorary degree.

484 Chad JohnsonI'm distressed that U/Mass would even consider honoring a person so intimately associated with the launching and continuation of a war resulting in the needless killing - and maiming - of thousands of people. If U/Mass does not revoke this offer of an honorary degree to Card, I withhold all further support - financial and otherwise - to U/Mass.

486 Maynard SeiderAs a teacher in public higher education, as a resident of Amherst, and as a U.S. citizen, I believe that Andrew Card is not only ethically ineligible for an honorary degree from the University of Massachustts, Amherst, but should be on trial for his involvement in helping to develop support for the aggressive, illegal war that the U.S. is waging in Iraq.

497 Mark WisnewskiAs an Alumni of this grand institution, I was shocked at the proposal to award Andrew Card an honarary degree. Are fabrication of research and propaganda dissemination the new direction for my Alma Mater I hope not, rescind this decision at once.
