Senate passes bill to remove Iron Arrow as highest honor
“The University of Miami Student Government used the final minutes of the 2022 spring semester to denounce cultural appropriation of Native Americans symbols within the Iron Arrow Honor Society, one of the university’s highest academic honors and an organization with a history of controversy.”
“In a 28-to-5 vote, with seven abstentions, the Student Senate passed “A Resolution Calling for the Need for an Alternative Organization to Iron Arrow as the ‘Highest Honor’ Achievable at the University of Miami and to Properly Support Indigenous Communities on Campus.” The bill called for the disaffiliation of Iron Arrow Honor Society from the University of Miami and the establishment of a new highest honor.”
