Kanye West’s PhD taken away following recent troubles

The degree has been stripped away from West by the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.

According to a letter TMZ obtained from the school, the powers that be decided to rescind the degree, stating, “His anti-black, anti-Semitic, and incendiary statements, particularly those directed at Black and Jewish communities, are disgusting and condemnable.”

The letter written by President Elissa Tenny continues, “As a community, we know that there are varying opinions on what our school’s response should be even as well all agree this behavior is indefensible.”

The iconic rapper whose behaviour has since taken a hostile twist was awarded an honorary doctorate back in 2015 for his accomplishments and contributions to art and culture, but Tenny notes, “his actions do not align with SAIC’s mission and values.”

This comes after Kanye’s recent anti-Semitic behaviour while appearing on “Infowars” last week claiming his love for Hitler and Nazis.

Students at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago had reportedly started an online position to pull the honorary credential, racking up over 4,000 signatures.
