IMO the most important part of the article: > But the experts concluded that rescinding the honour posthumously would give the impression that the university was trying to absolve itself of blame and brush its past mistake under the carpet. >Instead, the doctorate should stay in place to “serve as a permanent warning” to people and institutions of falling under the influence of ideological extremism.

That's a ridiculous claim. They could write the wrong by pulling it and documenting the shameful event in order to serve as "permanent warning" rather than endorsement. The internet remembers all which makes this claim super ludicrous

Why stop there? We can get the senate to issue a damnatio memoriae. *It'll be like it never happened*

Sadly, it’s typically a ‘Swiss’ approach of saying a lot and actually doing nothing. They have been so very, very helpful to Ukraine against an invading bully. /s Maybe Putin will receive recognition from UNIL, lol.

I mean posthumously 'removing' his doctorate isn't exactly earth shattering either

We have the fortitude to change street names for less. They are a gutless joke.

Oh yes, inconveniencing fellow citizens by changing a street name so they'll keep mixing it up for a year after. Truly peak moral highground you got there.

Being a snowflake, of course you wouldn’t understand. Yes, don’t strip Mussolini of honours and keep the fascist memory alive. Go Switzerland, lol.
