A research foundation has pulled funding from the University of Melbourne after its recent ceremony issuing honorary doctorates, with the reasoning that those that were the recipients were not diverse enough.
What makes this story more interesting is that 3 women and 1 indigenuous person were also selected to receive on of these doctorates but were unable to attend the ceremony and will be issued at a later date.
