So Jeb Bush will get his honorary something-or-other from the University of Florida after all:

GAINESVILLE, Fla. — Former Gov. Jeb Bush was snubbed for an honorary degree at the University of Florida — but he can still call himself an honorary alumnus.
The university’s Alumni Association’s Board of Directors passed a resolution Saturday to make Bush an honorary alumnus. The move came on the heels of a 38-28 Faculty Senate vote on Thursday to deny Bush an honorary degree.

The origin of this controversy was silly, and so is this one-upsmanship. The only degrees that colleges and universities give should be those that their students earn.
