Virginia Tech offered ten separate graduation ceremonies this year for different student groups based on identity.
Virginia Tech hosted ten separate graduation ceremonies for students based on their identity. In May, the university held separate ceremonies for Black, Asian, Latino, Muslim, and LGBTQ students. Breitbart News reported in May that many American colleges offer separate graduation ceremonies for Black students.
The College Fix reported this week that Virginia Tech is one of many universities that have adopted separate ceremonies for student groups based on identity. For example, The Donning of Kente Ceremony is held to commemorate the graduation of Black and African American students.

I think colleges should have a modicum of existential diversity. It isn’t right to deny someone, especially members of struggling minorities, advanced education simply because they’re no longer alive.
Dead students wouldn’t require dorms so much as stacking, room and board being a room with some boards in it. As far as being ambulatory, life-privileged students should welcome the honor of assisting their fellow learners from class to class.
Some of our greatest cultural contributions are from dead people, such as Thomas Jefferson, Martin Luther, and the guy who ate the first raw oyster.
States such as Michigan, New Jersey, and Illinois are in the vanguard of this inclusive movement with their enlightened tolerance of deceased voting.
Join us, won’t you, in making America not just a melting pot, but a burial plot.
Like the other two, its existing assets have become an expensive impediment to continued operation going forward. The administrations within the university are too inflexible to make the changes mandatory to compete as the market continues to change.
So your contribution could accomplish what, in the medium and long run?
Virginia Tech displays their institutional support of segregation. Apparently the more degrees educational leaders receive, the less intelligent they become. Must be an inverse relationship.

Don’t flatter yourself.
No one cares about inane rambling.
“Donning if the Kente” sounds as made up and fake as Kwanzaa.
They brought back Jim Crow.
Democrats love to divide people.
“.. ways for me to not want to give...”
If donors would withhold their contributions citing the reasons, I suspect they would get the university’s attention.
I’d identify as Italian. They have great food. And the ceremony would be fast—Banda-Bing, you graduate!

I have no problem with “Separate but equal.”
If people of color do not want to associate with me - fine - I can handle that.
My problem would be if a public university incurred extra expenses because you don’t want to integrate with people you have been attending class with.
One wonders, given the current/pervasive/increasing “PC” FOOLISHNESS, if “the hallowed halls of (POISON) Ivy” will soon offer “minority students” separate drinking fountains, too.
When I was a “wet behind the ears” college kid, back when dinosaurs roamed the Earth, we went out of our way to BREAK DOWN the “separate but equal” things that were part of that era of the USA’s society.
Now I see the same things that we fought so hard against in the 1960s Civil Rights era coming back as “separateness for racial pride” reasons. - I think that these “separate” ceremonies/housing/etc. are DISGUSTING.

Was there one for Americans?
this stinks!
Pretty much antithesis of what a college is supposed to stand for.
They should allow a student to attend only one. Sure would get rid of all the theatrics at the main one, for the future taxpayers.
We’d make them an offer they cant refuse. :)
What happens when you’re Black, Asian, Latino, Muslim, and LGBTQ? Get to go to all five?
= = =
LGBTQ gets you five, right there.
I think drinking fountains might be the next growth industry.
