The California State University system has a strict set of guidelines that govern the awarding of honorary doctorates.
The honoree must have achieved significant areas of human endeavor that embody the CSU’s objectives and ideals. Or, the honoree must have performed meritorious and outstanding service to the CSU. A third possible criterion is that the honoree’s life and achievements serve as examples of the CSU’s aspirations for its diverse student body.
