Communist Minister of Education of the People's Republic of China got an Honorary degree from AZS!
US AMERICAN PRESIDENT NOT FIT....

BUT

COMMUNIST VICE CHAIRMAN OF EDUCATION FOR THE PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF CHINA

IS QUALIFIED AND THAT'S JUST PRICELESS (or is that clueless?)


April 28, 2006

Wu Qidi, vice minister of education of the People's Republic of China, will be awarded the degree of Doctor of Humane Letters in recognition of her significant achievements as a leader in higher education and her exceptional work in academic research.

Wu oversees all Ministry of Education universities in China, which number around 70, and is guiding the transformation of many into major research institutions.

She is confronting a challenge familiar to ASU: figuring out how to offer a quality education to a large and growing number of students. She has been studying ASU's approach and the concept and structure of President Michael Crow's New American University.

Before her post as vice minister of education, which she assumed in 2003, Wu was president of Tongji University. During her eight-year presidency, she led the university from being a leading engineering school to becoming a comprehensive, research intensive and international university, ranking among the top Chinese universities.

1. ASU isn't looking too good on this issue. Really petty and
definitely political.

2. My daughter and her husband are writing a letter to AZS...
letting the school know that as graduates of Harvard University (the school where the President actually "earned" a secondary degree), anytime they hear the name Arizona State University mentioned, they will laugh out loud as they both now consider this school an embarrassment to the American people....and, never ever will they ever consider sending their children to this obviously Elementary "dumb as a rock" school.

5. ASU made themselves a laughingstock. Even the MSM has
been making fun of them.

6. ASU was a laughingstock well before this.
Which is why, after I graduate and see our president speak, I'm getting the fuck out of here and I won't look back.

7. Congratulations!
Well at least it appears that the college's Administration does not reflect on the students.
Thanks Heavens for that!

10. Good plan
I had a Professor who tried to hook me up with a local company when I was graduating. I turned down the offer and they had him call me to pressure me, I told him the only problem with the job was that it was in PHX and I am getting the hell out! Move on Alexander, life is too short to be stuck in Maricopa County. If you ever get homesick just visit in July!

Apologies to all my liberal friends in PHX, but they have always been twenty years behind the curve over there.

9. I spoke to my daughter about this earlier this morning.
She just sent me a copy of the email that she wrote and sent to the Arizona State University President!

Dear Mr. Crow,

It was quite interesting to find out that your institution, Arizona State University, found it fit just a couple of years ago to bestow an Honorary Degree to Wu Qidi, vice minister of education of the People's Republic of China. I am dismayed, however, that you have determined that the Current President of the United States doesn't qualify for the same ASU honor.

How I wish that President Obama had been invited to speak at our school instead of yours! I am a senior at Harvard College graduating this June.

That said, my husband (an '07 Harvard Alumni) and I have decided that our future children will never, ever consider attending your institution. In addition, we will both make sure to burst out in uncontrollable laughter anytime we hear mention of your name, or the name of the institution you represent.

You sir, are a true embarrassment to this country.

God Bless America, and God Bless the President of the United States.

Sincerely,
