Air Force Academy Alumni Board Withdraws Motions to Honor Charlie Kirk

The decision came after several hundred academy graduates and family members contacted the alumni group to share their opinions on the motions.

The Air Force Academy graduates were expected to vote Friday on whether to extend an honorary degree and honorary membership into the academy’s alumni association to slain conservative activist Charlie Kirk, but both motions were withdrawn.

The Association of Graduates, which serves as the academy’s nonprofit alumni group, said its board of directors dropped the motions after hearing the past two days from “several hundred” Air Force Academy graduates, parents and other family members about the idea to recognize Kirk.

The board met in Colorado Springs on Friday afternoon to consider the measures.
