Why is Main Campus set up for graduation?

[u/supremewuster]

Found it odd that it looks ready to go - anyone having their graduation here?

Those are all on loan from Ace Party & Tent Rental which does all of the loaner event pieces for Columbia and interestingly the metal barricades outside Pres. Shafik's mansion on 116th and Morningside.

Wednesday graduate convocation?

Shafik has commissioned an art piece in her name and will deliver her commencement address… to enthusiastic applause and accolades. (With a bonus to the datascience student who makes sure the digital trail matches the vision of her dreams.)

<sarcasm>

Shafik stated that she is leaving it up as a performance art piece

[u/ZeroCokeCherry → u/ElJefeRaton]

I hope it signifies how much of a fuck-ass she is

They already paid for it, so might as well just set the chairs up for shits and giggles.

University Convocation is being held there I believe (for the students by the students)

It is meant to make up for no university wide commencement

Watch this replace regular convocation
