Who the hell are the racists now?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Columbia University is planning to hold six additional graduation ceremonies for students according to their race and other aspects of how they identify.
The New York City school's website details graduation ceremonies for Native, Asian, "Latinx" and Black students taking place for Columbia College, Columbia Engineering, General Studies and Barnard College at the end of April. Another dubbed "FLI Graduation" is for "first generation and/or low income community." The school also hosts a "Lavender" graduation for the "LGBTIAQ+ community."

Having gone to many Columbia graduations I can tell you that they are sliced and diced dozens of ways. Celebrations and ceremonies are held over many days in many locations.
When I graduated from college, I sat with a friend of mine so I could enjoy his company one more time before he took a job on the other side of the country. He was Asian and I am white. I guess I wouldn't be allowed to sit with him nowadays. Kind of sad.

Yes you would either at the main graduation or at the school graduation.
Francis Marion University is also doing separate graduation ceremonies. They are doing it by the individual colleges...College of Business one day, College of Engineering another day, etc.

From what I can tell, there's a "general graduation" for anyone who wants to participate in that one, and then a bunch of separate ones if people want to be separated out due to demographics.
What a weird idea. If the population of graduates is too large to accommodate them all virtually, separate them by college/degree.
