… Graduation used to be for coming together as a class one last time to celebrate academic accomplishments, but today there’s a growing trend for segregated celebrations highlighting race and ethnicity
…. has identified more than 75 schools offering segregated graduations.
… The National Association of Scholars looked at 173 schools and found that 76 of them, or 44%, offer these ceremonies.
… In many cases, these ceremonies are co-hosted by black student groups, campus resource centers, or specific academic departments.
… Some colleges and universities are also offering separate ceremonies for Latino or LGBT student populations.
… Harvard held its first “UndocuGraduation” for students in the country illegally.
… In its report, the National Association of Scholars called the separate commencements an example of “neo-segregation” on campus. The report acutely points out that “neo-segregation is the breeding ground of racial conflict in American society.”
… Neo-segregation inculcates in young people the readiness to cling to a victim identity at the expense of becoming a positive member of the larger community
… a large portion of the racial grievance politics we see in society at large these days is the carefully nurtured product of campus neo-segregation
… While there is certainly a growing trend to host these separate ceremonies, they have been around for some time.
… Syracuse University hosted its first black graduation ceremony in 2004, the University of Southern California initiated its in 1999, and Stanford established its black graduation ceremony more than 40 years ago.
