Air Force Academy Alumni Board Withdraws Motions to Honor Charlie Kirk
The decision came after several hundred academy graduates and family members contacted the alumni group to share their opinions on the motions.
The Association of Graduates, which serves as the academy’s nonprofit alumni group, had been expected to vote on whether to extend an honorary degree and honorary membership to Charlie Kirk, a slain conservative activist.
In a statement, the board of directors said it dropped the motions after hearing from "several hundred" Air Force Academy graduates, parents, and other family members about the idea to recognize Kirk.
The board met in Colorado Springs to consider the measures.
