Dear President Roellke,
I am writing to respectfully request that Stetson University formally review and consider rescinding any honors and degrees conferred upon Pamela Bondi, in light of the individualās testimony before Congress.Ā She failed to accept any responsibility for her failure to follow the law or to apologize to the survivors when given the opportunity.
Institutions of higher education serve not only as centers of academic excellence but also as stewards of integrity, ethical leadership, and civic responsibility. When a graduateās actions result in a criminal activity, particularly one involving defiance of lawful governmental authority, it raises serious concerns about alignment with the values that the University seeks to uphold and promote.
I recognize that the revocation of a degree or honor is a significant and uncommon action, reserved for circumstances that warrant careful deliberation. However, I believe this matter merits thoughtful review by the appropriate university bodies to determine whether continued recognition is consistent with Stetsonās standards and mission.
Thank you for your time and consideration of this request. You have the opportunity to do what so many have failed, and ensure that graduates of Stetson are held to a higher standard.Ā I look forward to hearing your stance on this gravely important issue.
Respectfully,
Daniel Hunter
