We are looking forward to celebrating with our graduates at this week’s Graduate and Undergraduate commencement ceremonies. These events mark a significant milestone for our graduates and their families and are planned to ensure each graduate has the opportunity to cross the stage and be individually recognized.
The University will not tolerate any disruptions to these important ceremonies. Disturbances of any kind will result in immediate removal from the facility for anyone involved, including graduates and guests.
Signs, flags, backpacks, noisemakers, balloons and selfie sticks will not be permitted inside the venues.
I understand that this is a challenging and emotional time for many due to events around the world, but commencement is neither the time nor the place for the kind of disruptive behavior we have seen at other universities.
The Class of 2024 has persisted through COVID and other challenges to make it to this moment when they can step into the spotlight and be acknowledged for their accomplishments. I won't allow anyone to take that away from them and their families.
What about all the "universities" who held racially segregated graduations & other events?
Isn’t amazing that blacks strived so hard for equality, but now they want separation: black dorms, black safe spaces, black lawyers association, etc. Can you imagine if we pushed for all white dorms, only white graduation, made Harvard, Rutgers, Emory, Yale all white colleges. I blame the Presidents of these universities for pandering to the demands. Put out a handbook: “We are.a diverse and equal university. We stand united as one, just like our country. We respect each other’s freedom of speech. If you can not follow these principles, you do not belong here. Any bullying, racist or threatening behavior, intolerance of races, genders and opinions will not be tolerated. Neither will violence or destruction of property on or off campus. Any of these behaviors will result in immediate expulsion and forfeiture of tuition. We will also pursue prosecution for any of the above offenses.
Do blacks REALLY want that, or have they been convinced by (((white leftists))) that is what they want?
It really is sad....and truly, as with feminism, the core of the issue is revenge. The minutae like segregated dorms, "equal pay", all that fabricated bs is just a distraction. At its core, it's really about punishing, getting back / even and getting revenge on evil whitey.
The fact that there isn't a single college executive alive who would say something like what you said, is 100% proof that universities have been 100% coopted by the left & turned into literal gulags.
I think they have been made to think they want that. That whites are evil, they are superior. That they should view whites as oppressors, so by segregating they are turning their backs now on whites and threatening them if they invade their safe spaces.
For sure.... it's a sad & sick situation.
