Air Force Academy Alumni Board to Vote on Honoring Charlie Kirk
The Air Force Academy's alumni association board is set to vote on awarding honorary membership to Charlie Kirk, a conservative activist.
Kirk was killed last month while hosting a debate at a Utah college. The board of directors of the Association of Graduates will consider the honorary membership and may also discuss awarding an honorary Air Force Academy degree.
Although an honorary degree vote is on the agenda, the Association of Graduates does not have the authority in its bylaws to award one.
Instead, the motion recommends that the Air Force Academy award the honorary degree, but it is unclear if the academy has the authority to do so.
