霍华德大学撤销授予吹牛老爹的荣誉学位

近日，霍华德大学宣布撤销了2014年授予吹牛老爹(本名肖恩·“Diddy”·库姆斯)的荣誉学位。这一决定源于吹牛老爹的争议行为，与大学的核心价值观不符。

话说，吹牛老爹最近的争议不断，他被曝曾暴力殴打前女友，还可能面临性侵和性贩运指控。

霍华德大学还退回了吹牛老爹的100万美元捐款，并终止了相关捐赠协议。

Howard University’s Board of Trustees voted unanimously Friday to revoke the honorary degree given to Sean “Diddy” Combs in 2014, saying he is “no longer worthy to hold the institution’s highest honor.”

周五，霍华德大学(Howard University)董事会一致投票决定撤销2014年授予“吹牛老爹”肖恩·库姆斯(Sean “Diddy” Combs)的荣誉学位，称他“不再配得上该机构授予的最高荣誉”。

The university will also return Combs’ $1 million contribution and terminate a $1 million pledge agreement from the Sean Combs Foundation, the Board said in a statement Friday.

该大学还将退还库姆斯的100万美元捐款，并终止肖恩·库姆斯基金会(Sean Combs Foundation)的100万美元捐赠协议，董事会在周五的一份声明中表示。

“Mr. Combs’ behavior as captured in a recently released video is so fundamentally incompatible with Howard University’s core values and beliefs that he is deemed no longer worthy to hold the institution’s highest honor,” the Board said in the statement.

“库姆斯先生在最近发布的视频中的行为，与霍华德大学的核心价值观和信仰如此根本地不相容，以至于他不再配得上该机构授予的最高荣誉，”董事会在声明中表示。

CNN published a 2016 surveillance video showing Combs physically assaulting his former girlfriend, singer Cassie Ventura, at the now-closed InterContinental Hotel in Century City, Los Angeles.

美国有线电视新闻网(CNN)发布了一段2016年的监控视频，显示库姆斯在洛杉矶世纪城现已关闭的洲际酒店(InterContinental Hotel)对前女友、歌手卡西·文图拉(Cassie Ventura)进行了身体攻击。

The Washington, DC-based historically Black college or university said it will disband its scholarship program in Combs’ name.

这所位于华盛顿特区的历史悠久的黑人大学表示，将解散以库姆斯命名的奖学金项目。

“The University is unwavering in its opposition to all acts of interpersonal violence,” the board added, linking to the school’s “Interpersonal Violence Prevention” webpage in the statement.

“大学坚决反对所有人际暴力行为，”董事会补充道，并在声明中链接到学校“人际暴力预防”的网页。

Howard University’s announcement comes amid the ongoing controversy surrounding the once-beloved Bad Boy Records music mogul. Combs has been named in eight lawsuits since November, when Ventura accused him in a now-settled claim of years of abuse during their relationship and of raping her in 2018, CNN previously reported.

霍华德大学的声明是在围绕这位曾经备受喜爱的“坏小子”唱片公司(Bad Boy Records)音乐巨头引发的持续争议中发布的。CNN此前报道，自去年11月文图拉指控库姆斯在两人关系存续期间多年虐待她，并在2018年强奸她以来，库姆斯已被列为八起诉讼的被告。

Subsequent lawsuits have accused Combs of sexual misconduct and other illegal activity. He has not responded to all the allegations against him but has denied claims from many of the civil suits.

随后的诉讼指控库姆斯性不端和其他非法活动。他尚未对所有指控做出回应，但否认了许多民事诉讼中的指控。
