A last minute announcement from Brigham Young University disclosed that not only is Dick Cheney the commencement keynote speaker, he is also scheduled to receive an honorary doctorate for "Public Service." If this weren't so revolting it would be laughable. It's also unconscionable for a school like BYU, based on the religious tenets and good works of the Church of Latter Day Saints, to give this honor to a lying, war-mongering, venal individual such as Cheney.
Tell the school's president, Cecil O. Samuelson what you think of this. BYU has an interesting Mission Statement and Institutional Objective statement. Read them before you complete the form. Be considerate, be polite, and please keep in mind that this is an accomplished, religious man who has earned respect. If you know appropriate Mormon scripture or teachings, please include it (but make sure it's Mormon). But we don't have to respect this act, or the way it was hidden from the public, the students, and the faculty.
