(Bloomberg) -- Lehigh University, a private school in Pennsylvania, revoked an honorary degree given to President Donald Trump in 1988.A committee of the school’s board of trustees voted to rescind the degree Thursday, followed by the full board on Friday, according to a statement from the school in Bethlehem.

Individuals including cabinet secretaries and institutions have distanced themselves from Trump after his supporters vandalized the Capitol and disrupted Congress during Wednesday’s certification of the Electoral College count.
