EAST LANSING -- Michigan State University is considering stripping Robert Mugabe of the honorary law degree it gave Zimbabwe's president 18 years ago.
Officials at the East Lansing school cite human rights violations and economic collapse under Mugabe's government.
Ian Gray is vice president for research and graduate studies and chair of the university's Honorary Degree Committee.
He says Michigan State officials are very aware of many failings in Mugabe's leadership.
The University of Edinburgh last year withdrew a degree awarded to Mugabe, and the University of Massachusetts did so last month.
