Strathclyde University in Scotland saw its shadow on Monday; the silhouette was in the form of Oscar Pistorius.

Groundhog day in Scotland meant that Strathclyde rescinded an honorary degree it awarded to the double-amputee sprinter, almost five months after he was found guilty of culpable homicide in the shooting death of his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp, according to multiple reports.

The university originally bestowed the honorary degree to Pistorius in November of 2012, just months after he competed in the London Olympics. He became the first double-leg amputee ever to compete in the Olympic and Paralympic Games.

"We have revoked the honorary degree awarded to Oscar Pistorius following his conviction for culpable homicide," said a spokesman from the university, according to International Business Times.

The report added that Pistorius flew to Glasgow to receive his honorary award, as told by France24 News.

South Africa's Eyewitness News reported that the award was an honorary doctorate and that a professor at Strathclyde described Pistorius as a role model for millions of people around the globe.

The South African native said in his acceptance speech that the Scottish people always treated him warmly and that he considered the country his second home.

According to Eyewitness News, a Scottish domestic abuse charity lauded the school's decision because it felt Pistorius no longer served as a proper role model.

Pistorius was given a five-year sentence for the culpable homicide charge - on that prosecutor Gerrie Nel appealed and earned the right to retry Pistorius to get a murder conviction.

He is currently awaiting a new trial before South Africa's Court of Appeals. A date for the appeal to begin has not yet been set.

Pistorius' brother Carl, also is awaiting the findings of a new investigation into a reckless and negligent driving charge he incurred for refusing to give a statement to police after he was involved in a head-on collision with another car, whose driver steered his vehicle onto the wrong side of the road and into a car Carl was driving.
