401 Eli DamonHonoring Andrew Card damages the reputation of the University and in turn, the credibility of all alumni, especially when submitting resumes.

404 Wing L. MuiIf Card is granted such a degree I may considering withdrawing. Do I really want a doctorate from an institution that would simply give one to a man like this?
405 Eve L. PosadaI simply cannot understand how Andrew Card was considered in the first place.

408 Dr. Kevin MahoneyWith all the talk of "standards" and "excellence" among U.S. colleges and universities, it seems only correct to uphold those standards in this case. Like any degree, an honorary degree must mean something, must abide by some set of standards. Clearly in this case, Andrew H. Card, Jr, does not meet the university's own standards. I strongly support this petition and applaud the Graduate Students of UMass for being guardians of the principles of the university.

413 Barbara FrancisCard's appearance at Ashcroft's bedside while Ashcroft was in pain after having transferred his powers of office to his deputy was the last straw. UMass should have the courage to admit it was wrong.

423 Dean StevensAndrew Card served in the highest echelons of the most corrupt, inept, misguided and untruthful moneymongering administration in history. He doesn't deserve an honorayr degree from UMass. He deserves an apology to the people of Massachusetts. Dean Stevens

426 Nancy ForrestAs an alumni of UMASS Amherst, I am outraged that an honorary degree be offered to Mr. Card. He does not uphold the high moral standards that we expect of our UMASS community.
427 Judith SolskenThe awarding of an honorary degree to Andrew Card dishonors the university I was proud to serve for 28 years.

430 jonathan mark - FlybyNews.comIt is insulting to all around the UMASS community to receive such an insult as to give anyone from such an outlaw administration an honorary degree. For more information, please review resources on 9/11 investigations and the Bush administration at www.FlybyNews.com

437 AnonymousIt is a disgrace to U.MA, and a terrible reflection on its "high ethical standards" and "ideals" for the university to make any award to Andrew Card? It is said that he "bought" this degree by bringing funds to the university. Worse yet.
438 Cpnnie HogarthU of Ma deserves better than to give honorary degrees to people who have been instrumental in a war policy that has taken the lives of thousands of young people ,like those at U Mass, as well as young and old by the tens of thousands in Iraq.Please revoke the offer!
439 Christoph CoxThe war in Iraq was founded on lies and greed. Andrew Card was one of the architects of that war, and, as such, helped to perpetrate those lies and that greed. Hence, he clearly fails to meet the "high ethical standards" required of honorary degree recipients.

442 Steve JacksonAndrew Card has effectively set diplomacy work in the middle east back decades through his manipulation of intelligence and ingenuine efforts to reach peace. His leading role in disseminating deceptive and misleading evidence to justify the Iraq War leaves me with only support for those opposing his honorary degree.
