As many entitled fuck-nuts used the time to act like goofy degenerates. Each person acting like a jackass was rushed off stage, yet some of the more mouthy brats used the opportunity to scream and cry racism (despite the white students receiving the same treatment). Other, loud-mouthed and self-righteous supporters also praised and applauded these graduates for their silly and light-hearted approach on social media. https://www.cnn.com/2018/05/07/us/university-of-florida-black-graduates-rushed-off-stage-trnd/index.html --- https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC8Ik55J7RKO_d9U_9RIrYUQ <cite>TheOrangeMisfit posted [p:901027791] in ENTITLED, ...

Zeus 05/08/18 9:41:39 PM #3:	Given the nature of these ceremonies, I fully support hurrying along people who were showboating on the stage. If they want to showboat somewhere else and not hold up the procession, let them do that. However, each person showboating adds more time to the overall procession and those things are fucking long enough. Personally, after suffering through my high school graduation ceremony, I didn't bother attending the ceremony when I graduated college. A student's biggest dream is to walk across the stage during their school's commencement ceremony; getting rushed off the stage is not. lolwut? Nobody dreams of walking across the stage for that. --- (\/)(\/)\|-\| There are precious few at ease / With moral ambiguities / So we act as though they don't exist. <cite>Zeus posted [p:901028081] in ENTITLED, ...

Bugmeat 05/08/18 11:07:37 PM #9:	They were most likely told before the ceremony that there wasn't time for this sort of stuff and it wouldn't be allowed.

If it's a big stage and they get the diploma in the middle, they could do the little dance right after of whatever. But like I said, that's just how I feel. They made it. I'd rather them be happy.

ReggieTheReckless 05/09/18 2:08:04 AM #18:	I still get my UF email. Want to see what the president of the university sent out? May 8, 2018 Dear Campus Community, As many of you have seen, this past weekend, at one of our commencement ceremonies, students were physically and inappropriately ushered off stage. For many, this ruined what should have been a day of celebration and joy for students and their families. I deeply regret that this occurred, as well as my lack of action at the time. All of our students, through their hard work and dedication, have earned their moment to be celebrated. We are immensely proud of all our graduates. This incident is an opportunity to reaffirm our institutional commitment to improving campus climate, while recognizing that we have work to do. I am also calling for the reconceptualization of our commencement ceremonies. We need to find a balance between efficiency and celebration and make sure our ceremonies are truly for all of our students and their families and friends. I have asked Vice President for Student Affairs Dave Parrott and Student Body President Ian Green to serve as co-chairs of a commencement task force. The task force will solicit ideas and suggestions. I am also sharing a personal video on social media: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p3rMzF-k7AE" data-time=" . Additionally, we have posted a news article: http://news.ufl.edu/articles/2018/05/rethinking-commencement.php. Warm regards, W. Kent Fuchs President University of Florida It's a shame when you actually have to apologize for such things. Fuck those grads. <cite>ReggieTheReckless posted [p:901040065] in ENTITLED, ...

waterdeepchu 05/09/18 2:51:48 AM #19:	graduation ceremonies are arbitrary social rituals that have no actual meaning behind them, and are not necessary. Yet those who do them treat them as something sacred, to be adhered to. Why? If everyone goes through such a ceremony, it becomes meaningless. It becomes a thing people do because it's a thing people do. And to me, those things are the most worthy of being disrupted.

The Popo 05/12/18 9:05:41 AM #23:	Several people were just dancing as they moved across the stage - thats absolutely fine. The issue is with people who are stopping to perform a little routine. The flow to these things is having a person simply reading off an incredibly long list of names. Should the entire ceremony be changed so that this person needs to read a name, then watch as the graduate goes across stage and make sure that they are off the stage and rather than celebrating, as to avoid causing a traffic jam of students? Also, this video only shows the people who were physically removed offstage (which was not the best way to go about it at all, either). Id be curious if there were any celebrations prior to this that were much longer, resulting in the decision to start forcefully moving people along.

Either way, for the "it's really not", it's longer than most people actually think. People always seems to count faster than second actually are, it seems. Also, maybe he would have kept going or maybe not... We'll never know... I mean that you're perceiving 10 seconds as being longer than it actually is, because he had used more than 10 seconds. And we know that he'd keep going because he was still going when he was moved. ReggieTheReckless posted... It's a shame when you actually have to apologize for such things. Fuck those grads. While I dislike appeasing people simply because they complain, it's clearly a PR thing and a bad rep can affect donor relations. wwinterj25 posted... Bugmeat posted... They were most likely told before the ceremony that there wasn't time for this sort of stuff and it wouldn't be allowed. Agreed. It's not unlike these "news" stories where you see kids sent home from school because they didn't follow the rules just to have the kids claim "eh sexism!" or some other shit. Pretty much. And unfortunately, the more we cave regarding issues like these, the more people will break rules then make accusations of bias. The Popo posted... Several people were just dancing as they moved across the stage - thats absolutely fine. The issue is with people who are stopping to perform a little routine. The flow to these things is having a person simply reading off an incredibly long list of names. Should the entire ceremony be changed so that this person needs to read a name, then watch as the graduate goes across stage and make sure that they are off the stage and rather than celebrating, as to avoid causing a traffic jam of students? Also, this video only shows the people who were physically removed offstage (which was not the best way to go about it at all, either). Id be curious if there were any celebrations prior to this that were much longer, resulting in the decision to start forcefully moving people along. Just my 2. tbh, there probably are ways to accommodate displays, such as having several sections in the front where students can simultaneously showboat without holding the line. I still think it's completely stupid, but if kids want to do that, there are ways to allow them without inconveniencing anybody. --- (\/)(\/)\|-\| There are precious few at ease / With moral ambiguities / So we act as though they don't exist. <cite>Zeus posted [p:901262010] in ENTITLED, ...

TigerTycoon 05/13/18 5:03:34 AM #25:	Why is there even a ceremony. Does anybody actually enjoy waiting for hours for a handshake on stage with someone you don't care about.

I don't blame people for milking this nonsense since they paid a lot of money for it. Which is an argument for keeping it moving faster if anything. It's long enough as is without adding another hour so everybody can do a dance center-stage. (Although, again, if they had several dance pits in the front, students could have their fun without holding up the procession.) --- (\/)(\/)\|-\| There are precious few at ease / With moral ambiguities / So we act as though they don't exist. <cite>Zeus posted [p:901262238] in ENTITLED, ...
