It appears that some universities are banning masks of any kind at sites where they are holding their graduation ceremony. This is ableist, exclusionary, and completely unacceptable. (Photo: Dr. Mary Donegan)

WTF, UConn?

I'm wearing a mask at my graduation in two weeks and I don't really care who has a problem with it. I'll take it off to go up on stage but not while sitting surrounded by others for hours.

Banning the most effective defence against an airborne pathogen? Some might call that an attempt to kill. Defund these universities immediately and major companies should announce CVs from graduates from these universities will be automatically binned.

looks like they're also banning bringing in your own refillable water bottle. I've always been sensitive to that one since I first got POTS 12 years ago and had to carry water all the time to help with not fainting. at least it seems to allow for vending machine water bottles.

They mistakenly printed an old sign. Masks were/are welcome. twitter.com/candacemix/s...

And we wonder why COVID continues to run rampant through the population. Sigh

Helmets?

Maybe the protesters should not protest near where the graduation ceremonies are taking place.

Messes with facial recognition algos. Smile for the (hidden) cameras.

They are working overtime to let us know what they really think.
