Premier Shawn Graham will be receiving his honorary Doctorate at UNB Fredericton tomorrow during the spring graduation ceremony. More than 100 faculty and staff from the two UNB campuses signed a letter in opposition to the honour. Acting Chair and Professor of History at UNBSJ, Dr. Greg Marquis tells CHSJ News it’s time the university introduced a policy against politicians receiving honourary degrees.
The Board of Governors of the University of New Brunswick have yet to respond to the faculty and staff’s letter of petition.
