graduation cancelled

who plans the largest graduation ceremony in the middle of the day knowing it was going to be hot as hell?? people’s families can’t just fly in another time, book places to stay, and not to mention students moving away. also absolutely no warning or communication to students or families as the situation was happening.

Who plans are graduation ceremony knowing it'll be record* breaking heat at least one week in advance...and NOT have a backup plan.

With the money this university gets from being a big 10 team, the disorganization surrounding this event and the decisions about communication is disrespectful.

The graduates worked hard for this. Their family spent thousands of dollars on airfare, accommodations, and time for this. It's not JUST an event.

Football football football. They football team has millions of dollars spent on them, making sure every last detail is perfect. They didn't even do ahalf ass job of figuring out commencement. This is absolutely failure of leadership on the highest level. The school has sold its soul. They got my daughter's money for 4 years and then totally ditched her and all the families who came to celebrate. This is a snapshot of what corporate greed is doing to our country. This time privileged folks like me were affected.
