UofM should hold an opt-in in person graduation

The Issue

UofM has decided that looking for a viable option for graduation is not a top priority. Rather than be fully online, there should be an opt-in, socially distanced in person graduation at the Big House. Brown, an ivy league school known for having among the strictest protocols, cancelling sports and holding online classes, is having in-person graduation but not allowing family there. About 8,000 seniors in the stadium wouldn't even fill 10% of the capacity and it would be even less if you split up by major. That could be doable with masks and testing.
