What a weird idea. If the population of graduates is too large to accommodate them all virtually, separate them by college/degree.
That's what colleges/universities did before the left re-implemented Jim Crow-style segregationist policies.

The problem is some of the Graduates of these type of Progressive Institutions then go out in the world and inflict damage to society. They bring the garbage they have been immersed in out to real life.

It's been my experience that universities do that. As many as 3 graduations, separating out the colleges.

I'm not sure what they're trying to accomplish here, except being weird.

And again some folks are objecting to choices because they don't like the choices.......

It's not forcing anyone to do anything but it is allowing for multiple celebrations.

I think it is a little silly but i don't HAVE to indulge the whole thing.

I don't care -- do u?

Ah another misleading post title in order to feign outrage.

Right from the article:

Emphasis by me.

Also from Columbia's twitter: https://twitter.com/Columbia/status/...7Ctwgr%5Etweet

These events are in addition to the existing ceremonies that had been held by campus groups and schools have been doing this for years. Typically those that go to the additional ceremonies have been active in the campus group.

Well, both of us care enough to post on this thread wondering why they're doing it, so there's that.

They are racist 100%. What about dems giving farm aid to those in GA only if they are of color? White people, whether they need aid or not would get none. They are the biggist racist of all time.

In the future, you might want to check to make sure your thread title matches the content of your post.

Title: six separate graduation ceremonies
Post: six additional graduation ceremonies

I'm guessing those Columbia grads will be able to make the distinction. Your inaccurate use of words in the thread title will not outrage them one bit.

Thread fail.
