The University of Toronto has revoked an honorary Doctor of Laws degree awarded to folk singer and indigenous rights activist Buffy Sainte-Marie after a university committee recommended rescinding the honour.
The university said the Standing Committee on Recognition came to a resolution on revoking the degree in April, after receiving a petition on the issue in 2025, and the Governing Council approved the motion on May 13.
