That is sad; they got to “play graduate” for a day.
Nowadays they’d just give them the real diploma. One unintended consequence of this mentality is that I view ANY credentials or work experience differently for “preferred minorities” (blacks, Hispanics, women) than I do those of white and Asian men.
“Snowflakes” are just the most recent manifestation of kid-glove treatment extended to others for decades...
Women aren't a minority and they earn better grades than men. Just as well you won't hire them. Working for you might not be a good experience.
p.s. I'd never hire an Irish man. LOL
