Smith College in Northampton, Massachusetts, announced it would be giving Admiral Rachel Levine an honorary degree.
On Sunday, Levine was formally given the award - causing a protest on campus over the fact she is transgender.
She was one of four honorees selected by the college to speak at their commencement ceremony.
Feminist group the Women's Declaration International had protested the decision last weekend prior to the ceremony.
In a post to its X account they said: 'Tomorrow, Smith College - a historically women's college - will award Richard "Rachel" Levine an honorary degree.
'Levine, who pretends to be a woman, will then speak at commencement. We’re on the ground in Northampton, MA to show our support for women.'
