Sorry, but this thread detracts from the very real issue of tuition costs and financial barriers by mixing mandatory/quasi-mandatory expenses (cap & gown) with overpriced gimmicks apparently offered by some universities (diploma frames for $600? For real?) and optional items.https://twitter.com/JennMJacksonPhD/status/1144269754317905920 …
This is so rude. Graduation celebrations are so common and mandatory, and in fact, it is required in many other places to have nice shoes/clothes for the graduation itself (open robes). It's an important day, it's not optional. Sit yourself down and stop talking over Black women.
