West Chester University graduation panorama



A panorama photo of the soon to be graduates at the West Chester University graduation ceremony on 10 May 2008. The graduates were handed a "symbolic copy" of their diploma. I understand why the real diploma wasn't handed out but was it necessary to tell everyone in the crowd the diploma wasn't real?

My guess is they got a nasty letter from and upset student or family member in a past year. Now, to avoid offending any one, they explain to all attending that the students receive a symbolic diploma. Just add this to the list of useless warnings that exist in todays world.

Agreed, the majority must smooth the ruffled feathers of the few, especially since those few tend to be very vocal.
