Northwestern withdraws offer of honorary degree to Reverend Jeremiah Wright May 01, 2008 - (AP) — Northwestern University has withdrawn a previously offered honorary degree to Barack Obama's former pastor, the Reverend Jeremiah Wright due to the controversy surrounding Wright’s recent comments. Alan Cubbage, Northwestern's vice-president for university relations, says the school had offered Wright an honorary Doctorate of Sacred Theology. However, Cubbage now says the offer has been rescinded "to ensure that the celebratory character of commencement not be affected." Wright is the former senior minister at Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago, and his outspoken criticisms of the United States have drawn criticism to Obama's candidacy. A phone call to Wright's home seeking comment wasn't answered, and the voice mail was full. Northwestern's commencement is set for June 20th.
