Dr. Nelson

Dr. Prince?

Officials at the University of Minnesota are weighing whether to award Prince an honorary doctorate -- something they were considering before the musician's death. The university's president told CNN Sunday that the nomination will likely be approved by an honors committee and then go to the university's board of regents and president in June for the final say.

Meh! shrug He came to us as Prince and he left us as Prince. no no no! (Please do not even try to...but TAFKAP...on me!) razz

I just think putting a 'title' before that is not right. A better way to honor him to me, would be an accredited program in musicology, named for him. wink

I knew from the start that I loved you with all my heart.

As an academic, I can say with some authority that Prince getting an Honorary Doctorate in Advanced Body Movin' would be the best thing that could ever happen at a graduation ceremony. Considering how politically correct and...er...sensitive campuses are these days, I imagine there could be some con-tro-ver-sy.

I recommend the person who lauds him be a PhD with an ass piled high and deep U see.
