documentation
HonoraryDegreeFn
EnglishLanguage
"This is a binary function that represents an honorary degree. An honorary degree is an
AcademicDegree
for which the
GraduateSchool
has waived the usual requirements, such as
Matriculation
, residence, and
EducationalCourse
s. The degree is typically a doctorate or, less commonly, a master's degree, and may be awarded to someone who has no prior connection with the
University
. Usually the degree is awarded as a way of honoring a person's contributions to a specific field, or to society in general. Note:
HonoraryDegreeFn
is not the same as
DoctorateDegreeFn
or
MasterDegreeFn
, as these in themselves are subrelations of
SubstantiveDegreeFn
