I watched the video. Nobody would make a big deal if it was two seconds where someone faces the crowd and waves, or takes a picture with the Dean. But some of those people were off on other parts of the stage, and the ceremony couldn’t go on until they were off.
If they are clowning around up on the stage with some professor and they decide to have the next person go up, is that person going to decide to cut behind the person getting the diploma and ruin their shot for family and friends?
It is, the way it appeared in the video, narcissistic, self-centered, inconsiderate and rude.
This is why in reality separate dorms and graduation ceremonies is doing everybody a favor.
All of the fake students with their fake “studies degrees” who probably cant read their own diplomas much less do basic math who are only there as a taxpayer funded cash cow for the university will do nothing but disrupt the commencement for everybody else
These are likely 23-24 years olds....my dad was a fighter pilot by then and my mom was on base toting me around as a toddler
They are not kids technically though admittedly now anyone under 35 is a kid to me

If that happens and somebody feels “disrespected,” I predict a Chuck E. Cheese-style brawl to follow shortly.
