Derrida was a regular visiting professor at several other major American and European

universities, including Johns Hopkins University, Yale University, New York

University, Stony Brook University, and The New School for Social Research.
He was awarded honorary doctorates by the University of Cambridge (1992), Columbia
University, The New School for Social Research, the University of Essex, Katholieke
Universiteit Leuven, the University of Silesia, the University of Coimbra, the University of
Athens, and many others around the world.
Derrida's honorary degree at Cambridge was protested by leading philosophers in the
analytic tradition. Philosophers including Quine, Marcus, and Armstrong wrote a letter to
the university objecting that "Derrida's work does not meet accepted standards of clarity
and rigour," and "Academic status based on what seems to us to be little more than semi-
intelligible attacks upon the values of reason, truth, and scholarship is not, we submit,
sufficient grounds for the awarding of an honorary degree in a distinguished university". [44]
Derrida was a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. Although his
membership in Class IV, Section 1 (Philosophy and Religious Studies) was rejected, [citation

 he was subsequently elected to Class IV, Section 3 (Literary Criticism, including
Philology).[citation needed] He received the 2001 Adorno-Preis from the University of Frankfurt.
