We the Class of 2013 would like to petition to repeal the 5-ticket mandate. While we understand the need to ensure that each graduate has his/her most important people present, we feel it is entirely unfair to implement this rule 4 weeks before graduation. Many of our families have reserved travel and hotel reservations months in advance with the mindset attendance would be first come, first serve as it was last year. We propose that if it is the desire to revert back to the 5-ticket attendance this announcement should be made at the beginning of the academic year.

Updates

April 9, 2013

The administration is still hiding behind these arbitrary ticket caps while our families are already locked into expensive travel plans. I have been demanding answers from the dean all morning but they refuse to acknowledge that this last minute rule change is a slap in the face to every graduating senior.

April 9, 2013

The administration thought they could bury this mandate at the last minute and hope we would just accept it. This surge in support proves they underestimated our resolve to force them into a public correction.

Should have been announced in September. Way too late to tell people to change plans.
