Howard University revoked Sean “Diddy” Combs’ honorary degree Friday and will return his $1 million donation amid the music mogul’s mounting abuse accusations.

Howard’s Board of Trustees unanimously voted to take back Combs’ degree, which he was given by the Washington, DC-based historically black university in 2014, and cut ties with the rapper, the school said.

The board additionally agreed to return Combs’ $1 million donation, disband the scholarship program in his name and terminate all gift agreements with Combs and the Sean Combs Foundation.

“Mr. Combs’ behavior as captured in a recently released video is so fundamentally incompatible with Howard University’s core values and beliefs that he is deemed no longer worthy to hold the institution’s highest honor,” a spokesperson said in a statement.
