Allow Families to Attend FSU Graduation

The Issue

It was announced today that Fairmont State University has decided not to allow any guests for the spring 2021 commencement.  Students have worked extremely hard to achieve this.   WVU is allowing guests at their commencement but Fairmont has decided not to follow suit.   The football stadium holds 5000 people.  Fairmont state only has an enrollment of around 4000 students.   Lets just say that a quarter of them are graduating.  That means 1000 students.  If you allow each 2 guest for their parents, the stadium is still under half capacity.
