Graduating students of color at Harvard University and other colleges across the country would end their semester by attending affinity graduation ceremonies — but this year, they had to organize the celebrations without the school’s financial backing.
Harvard, currently battling the Trump administration over a range of issues, halted all of its affinity ceremonies for students this year. Alumni stepped in to raise funds, and students scrambled to find new spaces.
Members of the Harvard Black Alumni Society raised $46,000 for this year’s event after the university announced April 28 that it would no longer fund the ceremonies.

Everyone in the graduating class graduating all together? What’s the world coming to?
Indeed.
I know, it’s crazy, right?!
Nothing like marginalizing “marginalized” communities.
How will they survive? It’ll be like the horrors of the 1980s or something.
They sure didn’t care that they stopped graduations…proms…because of the lies of the left with covid.
Anyone who would believe this obvious bullcrap is a mental midget. 💩💩🙄
Geesh, how embarrassing.
See, no one ever needed to say “Blacks Only” or “Whites Only”.
They only needed to say “Marginalized People Only” and “Oppressors Only”.
I guess Graduation Ceremonies are separate, but equal
I have to laugh at all of these places giving their “marginalized” students their “special” days. Black graduations, Hispanic graduations, poor person graduations…
These kids are going to be in for a shock when they enter the adult world and they discover that no one gives a shit whether they are black, Hispanic, rich or pooor…their employers will only care if they add value to the organization.
Can I go to an Oppressors only graduation because I’m tired of the hijinks and outbursts of the Marginalized during a formal graduation ceremony?
Victimhood. The beatitude of reprobates. It’s lazy, deceitful and evil. No wonder the left embraces it so completely.
Affinity graduations - for everyone except straight white people.
Only privileged Marxists could ever consider a Harvard grad “marginalized.”
Hope the White Alumni association was able to raise the funds for the White Heritage Graduation.
“ Colleges cancel segregated ceremonies. Liberals outraged for victims forced to graduate with classmates they will someday work and live with..”
The article makes more sense when ‘affinity’ and ‘special’ are replaced with ‘racist’, and ‘marginalized’ with ‘privileged’.
LOL- i graduated from St John’s University in Jamaica Queens in 1986....we had as many black students as we did white students (and we all got along very well!!!)....
We had ONE graduation ceremony....not one for blacks and gays and this or that...
There. Fixed it.
Whaaaa! I didn’t get a special graduation!!!!
