321 John McDonaldThis man was one of the architects of the Bush Doctrine of Pre-emptive, unending, unapologetic war for complete control of the Middle East, and Umass thinks that he deserves an honorary degree? The man should be put on trial for crimes against humanity not decorated.

324 Paul PryseAndrew Card is complicit in the deaths of 100s of thousands of Iraqis. The students and faculty of UMass deserve better.

326 AnonymousAndrew 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"

328 Philip T. KearneyDear Mr. Banditelli: Thank you for the opportunity to express my feelings regarding your graduation. I completely agree with you that Andrew Card would be a poor choice to receive an honorary doctorate. Sincerely, Philip T. Kearney English Teacher Reading High School Reading, PA

331 Ellen CareyAs an academic in the Massachusetts public higher education system, I am dismayed that UMass is undermining the ethical standards and integrity of the Mass higher ed system by awarding an honorary degree to Andrew Card. 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". Please don't offer Card an honorary degree!

335 Shel HorowitzAs the creator of the international Business Ethics Pledge movement (http://www.business-ethics-pledge.org) and the author of an award-winning book on ethics (Principled Profit: Marketing That Puts People First), I'm appalled. Mr Card clearly does not meet the criteria.

339 Lisa Kentfieldgiven what this award is supposed to represent in regards to accomplishements and more importantly ethics, I quite certainly DO NOT find Card a qualified applicant (any politician would probably be a bad idea for the record, especially one serving under the Bush administration)
340 AnonymousAs an alumni of U/Mass with a Doctorate in Education, I just wonder why the University has to give a degree to man who does not promote peace in the world?

342 Julien BallWhy is Andrew Card being honored? The man was a chief promoter of a war responsible for the deaths of more than 600,000 Iraqis and more than 3,000 U.S. soldiers. He should be receiving an indictment, not a degree.
343 Tyrone HouseyMr. Card should go through the appropriate academic requirements just like everyone else.
344 Julie Meola
345 Rodney KleberThe latest evidence of Mr. Card's falling far short in terms of "high ethical standards" is this: the Congressional testimony last week that he and then White House counsel Alberto Gonzalez made a late night visit to the hospitalized Attorney General John Ashcroft to try to get him to approve the Bush Administration's "domestic spying program" after the Justice Department had called into question the program's legality. That action was unconscionable. I implore you not to grant Mr. Card an honorary degree.
