St Andrews University: Keith O’Brien will keep his honorary degree

St Andrews University has said it will not strip disgraced cardinal Keith O’Brien of his honorary degree.

The university considered revoking the 2004 award following a request from a member of staff.

Cardinal O’Brien resigned from the Archdiocese of St Andrews & Edinburgh in 2013 after several priests accused him of inappropriate behaviour.
