BETHLEHEM — Students and graduates of Lehigh University are urging the school to revoke the honorary degree of President Donald Trump after his comments on the deadly protest in Charlottesville.

Trump received an honorary degree after he served as the commencement speaker in 1988.

A Change.org petition says Trump fails to uphold the school’s guiding principles, which include celebrating diversity and rejecting discrimination.

University spokeswoman Lori Friedman says the petition will be handled when it is received. Lehigh’s Board of Trustees received a petition to revoke Trump’s honorary degree in January but did not to take action then.
