Hi David, KU’s policies on honorary degrees are articulated in our University Senate Rules and Regulations<http://policy.ku.edu/governance/USRR>:
3.2.2 Honorary degrees are granted by the authority of the Board of Regents upon the recommendation of the Chancellor. Following Board of Regents Policy, the University of Kansas awards honorary degrees to exceptional persons of notable intellectual, scholarly, professional, or creative achievement, or service to humanity. 3.2.2.1 A candidate’s qualifications must be deeply grounded in a career of scholarship, research, creative activity, service to humanity, or other profession consistent with the academic endeavors of the University. 3.2.2.2 In consultation with the University Senate Executive Committee, the Chancellor shall establish, and may from time to time amend, a policy for awarding honorary degrees. The policy shall provide for the degrees to be awarded and create procedures to solicit nominations, gather information, and recommend candidates to the Chancellor. I hope this is helpful! Amy Amy E.
