I don't think a degree was first thing on the minds of the families, school, and community when it happened.
It was in the HN monthly newsletter months ago. Are you on that email list? If not, post a message on the Pullman board for Herdman, as he is the one who does the emailed newsletter.
While it wasn’t in herdmans newsletter it was posted by the university in one of their communications about the 50th anniversary ceremony.

I think it's great that Marshall is awarding posthumous degrees to the football players. But, what about the other students that were on the airplane?
Two I can think of are Donald Tackett, Assistant Athletic Trainer, and Gary George, Student Assistant Statistician.
There may be others - but, these two deserve to be recognized also.

I believe they are. I would say any student or athlete on that plane would get a degree
The article makes it sound like they are awarding them to all of the students.
