The Association of Graduates, the Air Force Academy's nonprofit alumni group, will vote on awarding honorary membership to Charlie Kirk, a conservative activist.
Kirk was killed last month while hosting a debate at a Utah college. The board of directors will also consider recommending Kirk for an honorary Air Force Academy degree.
Although an honorary degree vote is on the agenda, the Association of Graduates does not have the authority in its bylaws to award one.
The motion instead recommends that the Air Force Academy award the honorary degree, but it is unclear if the academy has the authority to issue such degrees.
