Do you think that is juust stupid that illnois grads were denied their deplomas because of cheers from family?

Question

i think thats just stupid i mean woudnt you be happy if your kid got a diploma

Answer 1

Yes, but I do understand that long, loud cheering for one person meant that the name of the next graduate couldn't be heard. They could have made it clear that those who cheered excessively would be asked to leave the room, but I think that denying diplomas was not only an overreaction, but a stupid move legally. If someone were denied a job due to the inability to show a diploma, the school could be sued for the money the graduate would otherwise have earned.
