Passage Two
Questions 61to 65are based on the following passage.
its possible to admire oprah winfrey and still wish Harvard hadnt awarded her an honorary doctor of law degree and the commencementspeaker spot at yesterdays graduation.Theres no question Oprahs achievements place her in the temple of American success stories. Talent,charm,and an exceptional work ethic have rarely hurled anyone of worlds most successful entertainment icons and the first African-American female billionaire.
Honorary degrees are often conferred on non-academic leaders in the arts,business,and politics.Harvards list in recent years has included Kofi fi Annan,Bill Gates,Meryl Streep,and David Souter.But Oprahs list in recent years has included Kofi Annan,Bill Gates,Mery1 Streep,and david souter.But Oprahs particular brand of celebrity is not a good fit for the values of a university whose motto,Veritas,means truth.Oprahs passionate advocacy extends,unfortunately,to a hearty embrace of fake science.Most notoriously,Oprahs validation of jenny McCarthys claim that vaccines cause autismhas no doubt contributed to much harm through the foolish avoidance of vaccines.
Famous people arc entitled to a few failings, like the rest of us. and the choice of commencement speakers often reflects a balance of insututional pnonties and aspirations. Judging from our conversations with many students. Oprah was a widely popular choice.
