Secretary of State Hillary Clinton LAW '73 will be in New Haven on Monday to receive an honorary degree, the News has learned.

A spokeswoman for the Clinton Foundation confirmed Sunday that Clinton would receive the degree. University officials neither confirmed nor denied that the former first lady would receive the award or be on campus. Honorary degree recipients will be announced formally Monday.

A person familiar with Commencement proceedings said Clinton would not arrive on campus the day before Commencement exercises, as is customary for honorary degree recipients....

I'M GLAD . THANK YOU . SEC. OF STATE CLINTON IS THE RIGHT PERSON TO GET THIS HONOUR . MORE POWER TO HER .

She certainly deserves this and much more.

Clinton also exemplifies the focus on international law that Harold Koh has added to the fabric of Yale Law School. (I wonder if she'll speak at the law school ceremony too.)

Ugh, one of the most overrated politicians of all time.

She is the height of mediocrity.

Did Kim Jong Ill time his little explosion in celebration of this worthless ceromony?

I thought these comments were supposed to be monitored- clearly trolls don't live under bridges...they comment on stories like this one. Hey #8, what have you done to change the world recently?

Perhaps she can discuss her experiences during the Clinton Administration when they decided that the best way to deal with gang stalkers poisoning people was to allow them to poison whomever they wanted as long as they promised to leave the politicians ( and probably their alma maters ) alone.

Crimes against humanity are no big deal when they are our crimes against humanity and we can scare the press into ignoring them.

Question for YaleFemLib - will you support the Clinton Administration's policy - currently still in effect - that allows gang stalkers to poison and irradiate whomever they like without the slightest fear of arrest, as long as they promise to leave the politicians alone?

Hmmmm.....?
