I wonder if they will be mentioning Bill's 26 trips on the “Lolita Express"Swansea will recognise Clinton's commitment to promoting the rights of families and children around the world, which the university said it shares.

Beyond pointless.
Took my daughter and thousands like her four years of
hard graft to earn that title.
Cheapens the whole thing.
Or seven years in my case 'cause I was thick. No, not really, because I did my PhD part-time whilst working full-time. When I look back at it, that really was hard graft! So yes I agree, these honorary doctorates are pointless. I don't know how anyone can accept one - I would be too embarrassed to.
I agree, but the real cheapening of the degree was the push to get everyone into UNI just to manipulate the employment figures, it's a personal regret of mine that i never did one, finishing school in 1978 with 2 'O' levels and a few CSE's wasn't good enough, we stopped training the youngsters, apprenticeships became a dirty word and all of a sudden everyone was going to uni to get pissed and an ology, we now suffer with a lack of practical skills and youngsters with degrees working at KFC, of course, many youngsters have worked their socks off and have attained excellent qualifications and hopefully will reap the rewards of their hard work
pretty much agree with nelson61 degrees are so devalued it's untrue these days . just seems to be a tick box exercise these days
for example engineering/ manufacturing companies are crying out for hands on engineers rather than what I call graph engineers it's untrue .
I notice the nhs are now restructuring there recruitment operations in developing apprenticeships rather than a student get a 2.1 in an ology and about time too . not everyone is good with a good memory in exam situations
practical skill is far more important in my experience
I’ll just leave this here
