I can't wait for half the graduates to stand up and walk out during his commencement address... That will look awesome for the cameras.

What irritates me the most about this story is at the taxpayers are going to fund his trip, but then the University is also going to pay him for his speech.

How about an "administrative error", leading you to send him the wrong location and holding the ceremony somewhere else?

Stand your ground and show Trump what you're made of. This is one way to resist dictatorship.

I support half if not more graduates AND their friends and families standing up silently and walking out as Trump is introduced and takes the podium. There is nothing more our nation and the world needs to see. Than a active protest to this wannabe dictator who is dismantling and destroying our nation. STAND AGAINST trump!

As a graduate I have already emailed President Bell and told him how I feel. Disrespect, disappointed and discussed.

I am a graduate student there and when I saw the email about this the other day, I started looking at other schools. I do not want to graduate from a school that supports a fascist regime.

NowThis Impact
The University of Alabama College Democrats condemned President Trump’s commencement speech, citing his ‘divisive and authoritarian’ policies and the detainment of an Iranian Ph.D. student by ICE.
‘UA is not a fascist playground,’ the statement reads. ‘The Trump administration kidnapped one of our Ph.D. students for no reason a few weeks ago and is holding him without bond at an ICE black site in Louisiana. There is no greater insult than this.’
