Rudy Giuliani may have lost his New York state law license this week for undermining the “integrity of this country’s electoral process” and misconduct that “cannot be overstated,” a Manhattan appeals court ruled.

But at one of New York state’s most notable colleges, Giuliani’s honorary law degree from the Syracuse University College of Law is still safely in the hands of the former New York City mayor and Donald Trump lawyer — for now, the school confirmed to Raw Story.

Syracuse University spokeswoman Sarah Scalese explained that the school’s University Senate voted in March to “recommend the university revoke Rudy Giuliani’s honorary degree” and “the Chancellor referred the Senate’s recommendation to the Board of Trustees for its consideration.”...

Syracuse University's Honorary Degree Committee has decided to not move forward with rescinding Rudy Giuliani’s honorary degree.

The committee last year asked petitioners for the degree revocation to provide additional information to determine if the resolution met the qualifications for the rescission of Giuliani's degree, according to a statement written to The Daily Orange by Michel Benaroch, this year’s chair of the committee....

Not much is going right for Rudy Giuliani.

His recent indignities include 13 felony charges related to his attempt to overturn the results of the 2020 election in Georgia, status as “co-conspirator 1” in one of former President Donald Trump’s federal indictments and the pending loss of his law license in Washington, D.C.

A motley cast of detractors, ranging from his former lawyers to President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, are suing the former New York City Mayor and Trump attorney over a variety of alleged misdeeds....

The Honor Code of The Citadel, South Carolina’s 181-year-old military college, states that cadets “will not lie, cheat or steal, nor tolerate those who do.”

But The Citadel now finds itself quietly tolerating one of its most recognizable honorary degree recipients — Rudy Giuliani — who, in the estimation of the U.S. House’s January 6 select committee, lied and cheated while attempting to steal the 2020 presidential election away from its duly elected winner, Joe Biden.

“Mr. Giuliani’s effort to undermine the integrity of the 2020 presidential election has helped destabilize our democracy,” a DC Bar Association panel wrote last month in recommending Giuliani, who served as former President Donald Trump’s personal lawyer, be disbarred. “The misconduct here sadly transcends all his past accomplishments.”...

Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, a central figure during Donald Trump’s presidency, stands accused of sexually assaulting an ex-employee.

He is also accused of offering to sell presidential pardons for $2 million each — he denies wrongdoing.

WASHINGTON — Facing unforeseen challenges the likes of which the United States has never confronted will require a resurgence of American journalism and an informed electorate.

That’s according to Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT), who delivered his remarks Monday at the Syracuse University Toner Prize dinner at the Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center in Washington, D.C. The Toner prizes are awarded for political reporting. The award is named after Robin Toner, the late New York Times political correspondent.

“I don't recall a period during my life when there are so many black swans flying around,” the Republican party’s 2012 presidential nominee said. ...
