The petition asked if students would favor an Îy outdoor ceremony. However, none of the facts associated with such a decision had been provided to the Q c 1 lie Town Hall meeting with students, other college administrators* and myself, was called to discuss Spring Graduation 2001, to provide facts (See attached sheet that was distributed at the meeting) and to r clear up any misinformation. The two-hour discussion allowed those present to voice their concerns directly with me and have all of their questions answered. The following is a summary of the four major views expressed by students attending the meeting: * Some students still would like to have an outdoor ceremony unless they could get more tickets for the indoor ceremony. o • Some students expressed strong preference in support of the indoor graduation based on the new- n gym's nicer facilities and accommodations, (more seats, air conditioning, restrooms, shelter if it is raining and safety for people with physical disabilities). » Some students expressed concern that they were not aware that graduation was going to be indoors and requested that notice be given to all students that the new tradition is to hold all Stockton graduations indoors in the new gym (Multipurpose/Sports Center), > C • Some students still would like to have one single 3.5 - 4 hour graduation ceremony for tins c Spring's class of 1000 students; others students strongly preferred two separate ceremonies which will take approximately 1.5-2 hours each.
