It may have been a prudent move- considering the current atmosphere on his campus...
It may have been a silly move- considering the current atmosphere on campus...
It may have been a move of hubris- considering the current atmosphere on campus...
The HQ figures it was all three and a few more emotions wrapped in...
Yesterday was Graduation day on the UAB campus and President Ray Watts chose not to speak to his graduating class- choosing instead to have a prepared statement released to the media and all those attending.
Watts also hose not to shake hands with his graduates- although it would have been interesting to hear the conversations.
Here was the most contentious graduation ceremony in recent memory on any campus

President Watts did not attend the doctoral hooding ceremony that afternoon, either. He has also had to cancel a speaking engagement at a suburban Chamber meeting- by mutual consent.
Heavy sponsors for the athletic program are pulling out now as well...
Congratulations...
