UMass faculty, students boo Card
Protest honor for ex-Bush aide

By Associated Press | May 26, 2007

AMHERST -- Hundreds of students and faculty erupted in a chorus of boos yesterday when Andrew Card, President Bush's former chief of staff, rose to accept an honorary doctorate in public service at the University of Massachusetts.

The protesters blamed Card in part for the Iraq war.

The boos and catcalls, including those from faculty who stood on stage with Card, drowned out provost Charlena Seymour's remarks as she awarded the degree. Protesters say Card lied to the American people in the early days of the Iraq war and should not have been honored at the graduate student commencement.

Card smiled slightly while Seymour spoke and raised his hand in thanks, then sat down without speaking.
