The list of consequences Kanye West has faced in light of his antisemitic comments continued to pile on. On Thursday (Dec. 7), The School of the Art Institute of Chicago confirmed to billboard<\/em> that West’s honorary doctorate degree at the college \u2014 which was issued to him on May 11, 2015 \u2014 has been rescended.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe School of the Art Institute of Chicago condemns and repudiates Kanye West’s (now know as Ye) anti-Black, antisemitic, racist, and dangerous statements, particularly those directed at Black and Jewish communities,\u201d the school shared in a statement. \u201cYe’s actions do not align with SAIC’s mission and values, and we’ve rescended his honorary degree.\u201d<\/p>\n

More from Billboard<\/strong><\/p>\n

TMZ<\/em> shared a letter from SAIC sent to members of the staff and student body regarding the rapper and his incendiary comments, which came to a head during his Dec. 1 appearance on Alex Jones’ InfoWars<\/em> show. The letter arrived four days after students made a change.org petition calling for the removal of Ye’s honorary doctorate.<\/p>\n
