A shockingly large percentage of those students are receiving college degrees without even knowing the definition of the words "politicization" or "matriculation".

Obama used his Rutgers speech to attack Trump
Will this be a common theme at this years graduations?
Reagan was denounced by quite a few commencement speakers back in the day, so is this a leading indicator of electoral success?
unsurprising. these days, american universities are indoctrination camps for the freakish and unwashed left.
Commencement speeches are from universities.
University speakers are almost exclusively liberal.
It is a terrible indication of any outcome at the polls.
Students should walk out to protest the politicization of their matriculation.
Yours is an amusing proposition. I don’t doubt its truth, either. Especially as we begin to see the desperation of Hillary in putting up her husband for a third term.
Scott Walkers’ response to his recall victory in June a couple of years back should have been an appropriate yell at the teachers union: “FOOD FIGHT!”
conservative students need to start walking out on commencement speech’s as publicly as possible when they become anything other then a commencement speech. the reason why the left does this is that for years there was no blowback when they did this at public events like graduation.
Let no good gathering with a captive audience go to waste. When we went to our youngest daughter’s graduation from the University at a local stadium a few years ago. The Valedictorian made a sickening and mostly incoherent political speech largely focusing on gay and transgender rights. If she was the best thing coming out of that school we are in big trouble.
The whole thing was a joke anyway... all the parents were given seats way up in the rafters. When the school “president” got up and talked she spoke in a very demeaning way. She talked to the parents saying how we needed to sacrifice more for our children’s education and how she was sending her daughter to Oxford. Everyone around us was scoffing at everything. At least half the degrees being given out sounded like complete jokes.
Both got standing ovations from the graduating students. Noticeably less applause from the parents/guests.

I think the “dig at Trump” is a standard feature at this spring’s commencements across the land. What I’m wondering - the theory I’m testing - is: Is this is a sign he’s likely to win in November? A “reverse poll” you might say
Rutgers used to be a private university until the state took it over and destroyed it
Milton Friedman graduated from Rutgers (Before it was a state school)
Was this Rutgers?
People always want what they are told that they can not have
Chartered in 1766 as all-male Queen’s College in New Brunswick, New Jersey, the school, affiliated with the Dutch Reformed Church, was renamed Rutgers College in 1825 in honor of trustee and Revolutionary War veteran Colonel Henry Rutgers.
In the mid-19th century, Congress established the nation’s land-grant colleges in response to the Industrial Revolution. In 1864, Rutgers prevailed over Princeton to become New Jersey’s land-grant institution, tasked with offering educational access to a wider range of students who would be the new workforce for America’s expanding businesses, factories, and farms.

Appropriately enough, the Rutgers Official School Color is red (as opposed to Harvard's crimson).
“Students should walk out to protest the politicization of their matriculation”
