As of now, the University of Cincinnati is refusing to do any in-person graduation ceremonies for their graduates. While they are offering a virtual graduation ceremony (that they are making students pay to attend), this is a huge slap in the face for students who have spent an exorbitant amount of time and money at the university. The university has previously allowed 5,000+ people in attendance of football games during the 2020 season at their historic Nippert Stadium, including the band, dance teams, cheerleaders, families, and random fans. The University of Cincinnati has an obligation to properly celebrate their graduates the same way they celebrate their money making sports teams. The university should hold an in-person ceremony per college in Nippert Stadium for those who would want to attend AND a free virtual ceremony for those who would not want to attend.
