Can Yale withdraw Kavanaugh's law degree, and if so would he lose his judgeships?

9. generally speaking, universities only do this on the basis of cheating.

i don't know yale's policies in particular, but if he were found to have cheated on some tests at yale, then they likely could withdraw his degree.

universities generally don't withdraw degrees for anything that happened outside the university context. in this case, maybe if he lied on his original application, though i'm not sure we've heard anything to make us think he did that.


that said, he doesn't need a law degree to be a justice on the supreme court, so it would be a great insult, but in practice, meaningless.
