President Coleman has approved the first request of the Commencement Advisory committee, nixing the current plan to hold graduation at Eastern Michigan’s football stadium six miles away in Ypsilanti. There is currently no planned venue.
Considering the pessimism I saw in a response from Provost Theresa Sullivan after I emailed her when they made their initial, unexpected announcement, I am quite pleased to see that this situation is on its way to being remedied. I brought up alternate venues like the Diag, Palmer Field, the Stadium itself, or the stadia in Detroit, and she said that all of those options were infeasible and all possibilities other than EMU were exhausted.
Well, if you complain loud enough and demand innovative thinking, it appears that things can be made feasible. Perhaps in the future this more typically-UM approach of thinking outside the box and making things happen will be the administration’s first course of action. Approach the students and ask them for ideas and to form a committee BEFORE committing to an unsatisifactory solution and claiming that all other options are impossible (and assuming that students wouldn’t care.)
They didn’t get away with anything, and for that we ought to be proud.
