> Sure but wouldn't the institution have to justify the revocation?
The people answering that phone or email are low-level admin staff far removed from those who decided to revoke the degree – I don’t know whether they have access to the reasoning or justification behind the revocation.
> Without justification, couldn't the degree holder sue the institution for some sort of defamation?
I honestly hope so – I’m quite against being able to revoke a degree due to other reasons than plain fraud (like plagiarism or fabrication). But I don’t know the laws well enough to answer.
