National Briefing - West - California - System Will Grant Degrees to Those Sent to Internment Camps - NYTimes.com:

"California State University is set to begin granting honorary degrees to former Japanese-American students who were sent to internment camps during World War II. The system’s Board of Trustees approved the measure to honor former students whose studies were interrupted more than 60 years ago. The move follows the University of California’s decision in July to confer honorary degrees to its former students who were interned."
