    Statement of Chairperson Benno Schmidt of The City University of New
    York Board of Trustees
    ...  If it were appropriate for us to take politics into
    account in deciding whether to approve an honorary degree, I might

    with Trustee Wiesenfeld, whose political views on the matters in
    controversy are not far distant from my own.
