Donald Trump: Robert Gordon University strips honorary degree
http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-scotland-scotland-politics-35054360Donald Trump has been stripped of his honorary degree by a Scottish university after he called for Muslims to be banned from entering the US.
The US presidential hopeful was awarded an honorary DBA by Robert Gordon University in Aberdeen in 2010.
But the university said Mr Trump's comments had been "wholly incompatible" with its ethos and values....
He had been appointed as a GlobalScot ambassador by Labour's then first minister Jack McConnell in 2006, but a Scottish government spokeswoman said Mr Trump's "recent remarks have shown he is no longer fit to be a business ambassador for Scotland".
