(4.10.09) — Arizona State University made the decision (apparently now under reconsideration) to not award Barack Obama with an honorary degree from the school when the president comes to speak at commencement.

Arizona State’s decision is in contrast with another institution at which Obama will be giving a graduation address, Notre Dame.

Notre Dame, on the other hand, is awash in controversy over its choice to permit Obama to speak at the Catholic school at all.

Obama is often referred to as one of abortion’s most ardent supporters in government, and his near-flawless record in support of the procedure has drawn outrage from many students, faculty and supporters of the Indiana university who find it offensive that Notre Dame would go against its Catholic underpinnings just so as to have Obama address its graduates.
