The debate over the location of graduation will continue tomorrow when students march from the Diag to the Fleming Administration Building to ask that graduation take place on campus.
The Maize Out March is being organized by a group of students originally from Bridge the Gap (BTG) that is promoting tomorrow’s march under the UM Unity Nation logo. BTG is a student group formed in 2006 to “promote dialogue between all parties of the Israel-Palestine conflict on campus.”
“Of course this event does not relate to Middle East politics but the overall theme was to include everyone,” said BTG co-founder and spokesperson for the Maize Out March, Mike Eber. Eber, an undergraduate student, said that BTG has held discussion events before and had even hoped to put on a combined Lupe Fiasco and Matisyahu concert last term. Members of the group decided to focus on the graduation issue because of its ability to unite campus.
While a rally was held last week, Eber hopes that outreach for this march will help increase its size. Members started a Facebook event that had about 200 confirmed guests at the time of writing. This action also distinguishes itself by having a platform for action.
“The platform takes into account that the administration is trying. I think deep down they will be able to move graduation to campus,” said Eber. The group’s platform calls for Spring Commencement to be held on campus without singling out Michigan Stadium.
Unlike another web effort, Big House ’08, the platform also directly condemns the creation of luxury boxes. The group asks that renovations comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act. “It’s almost too shallow to in one way protest not being able to graduate in the Big House but also not see that people who are handicapped cannot be there,” said Eber.
The march, from the Diag to Fleming, is scheduled to begin at noon on Tuesday, January 29th.
