    TOPEKA, Kan. — Broadcaster Bill Kurtis is getting an honorary degree from the University of Kansas.

    The Topeka Capital-Journal reports that the Kansas Board Board of Regents voted this week to give degrees to Kurtis and longtime KU faculty member Roger Shimomura.

    The university says Kurtis will receive a Doctor of Humane Letters degree and Shimomura will receive a Doctor of Arts degree.

    Kurtis anchored the CBS Morning News and has hosted various A&E crime and news documentary shows. Shimomura taught art from 1969 to 2004 at KU and creates art addressing the sociopolitical issues of Asian America.
