Tutu Receives Honorary Doctorate in Vienna with Bad News for Perpetrators of Human Rights Abuses
Each year the University of Vienna grants one individual its highest academic honor: an honorary doctorate. This year it was awarded to the former South African Anglican Archbishop, Desmond Tutu, for his laudable work in theology. Tutu is a life-long champion of human rights and an activist against injustice, poverty, and suffering. These stances, coupled with his African spirituality, have enabled him to breathe new life into theology as well position him as a main contributor to a nascent global human rights culture.
