Thing is, the university has the right to decide not to issue an honorary degree. Happens all the time. And doing so because they don't feel the recipient is worthy is part of the right, since such degrees are supposed to be a sign that the institution in question considers the recipient *very* much better than the average person.
Voting no is just stating an opinion. It's not petty.
While the state legislature has the *power* to change the name, using that power for the reason the did (and incidentally, costing the state a *lot* of money in making all the changes) is petty.
