Air Force Academy Alumni Board to Vote on Honoring Charlie Kirk

The Air Force Academy graduates will vote on whether to award honorary membership in the academy's alumni association to Charlie Kirk, a conservative activist.

The vote will be held by the board of directors of the Association of Graduates, the academy's nonprofit alumni group, and will also consider Kirk for an honorary Air Force Academy degree.

Although an honorary degree vote is on the agenda, the Association of Graduates does not have the authority in its bylaws to award one.

The motion recommends the Air Force Academy award the honorary degree, but it is unclear if the academy has the authority to issue honorary degrees.
