Author and prominent Buddhist scholar Laurence O. McKinney says Ikeda
“has no reputation as a theological leader,” but has used contributions to
buy approval and prestigious connections. McKinney notes that when Harvard
refused to provide Ikeda a speaking venue, he rented a basement room at
Harvard, and the Soka Gakkai-funded Boston Research Center for the 21st
Century billed his talk as a historic “lecture at Harvard.”
Santiago declined several interview requests. Randy Ryder, secretary of the
university, said a faculty committee made the recommendation for a degree
and Santiago approved it. “We Googled. We didn’t see anything [negative
on Ikeda],” Ryder says. Ryder also says Ikeda was not physically up to
traveling to Milwaukee, so his group paid the travel expenses for UWM officials.
We look forward to “a fruitful relationship of cooperation and exchange,” a
delighted Ikeda wrote in a letter to Santiago. Broadcasting that new
fruitfulness was Soka Gakkai’s newspaper, whose 6 million readers saw a
photo splashed across its front page, a grinning Santiago dishing out the
honorary degree.
