Dr. Arnie Aberman, a longstanding member of the University of Haifa Board of Governors and former Dean of the University of Toronto’s Faculty of Medicine, has returned his honorary degree from the University of Toronto, awarded in 2015. Dr. Aberman took this principled step to protest the university leadership’s inadequate response to anti-Israel protests on campus and its failure to ensure student safety for all.
“It’s symbolic. To me, it’s a mark of great distinction. I was very proud to receive the honorary degree. The fact that I’m willing to give it back to signify my discomfort with the university indicates how deep my concerns are.” – Dr. Arnie Aberman
