Why would Conoley be tired? Nobody’s asking her to be there, especially since she’s gone out of her way to avoid listening to her graduating classes 3 years in a row.
If she tired to make us a real graduation, why don’t she just retired 🙄😒
After missing out on a traditional graduation in high school, I had my eyes set on celebrating one for college. It’s disheartening to know that another monumental event in my academic career will be denied and forever a foreign experience, simply due to Ms. Jane being too tired to take the time needed to recognize us, the students that she promised to serve.
I graduated in May 2021 and I still feel sad about not having my name called. At the time, that was the best option. Now, this seems a cruel act to people who worked hard for their degree and want to be celebrated.
whoever edited this is making it big real soon
so she’s sacrifice 15,000 students just because she would gain less money and because she is “exhausted” after it. seriously? you’re putting you, one singular person over 15,000 students that give you your paycheck, that want it different. how selfish and disappointing. they really don’t like you anyway now and nothing obligated you to showing up, i’m sure they’d much like it if you just didn’t come. does that help your exhaustion????
This production quality is fucking insane
I know the grad thing sucks, but this video is just really well made lol
Dude fr, this is like Vox levels of editing 😍
Gotta reduce the cost so she can still have her giant salary.
They signed a contract with angel stadium. At the end of the day CSULB operates as a for profit business so they really don’t care about the students experience, all they care about is maximizing their bottom line.
President Conoley was all about returning to normal post vovid until she realized it would cost too much graduation is where she draws the line 🙄
I am so sorry for anyone graduating from CSULB. I am at CSUF. I am graduating this year, and I will be hearing my name called at commencement. I feel the same should go for CSULB. I hope these students keep fighting. That is absolutely ridiculous and downgrading to their accomplishments.
I graduated from UCLA back in 2012, and the school has numerous commencements. The main one (for all graduates) did not include a portion where they read everyone's name. They also limited guests to 4 people.
Each department, however, had their own separate commencement, where they did read each graduate's name. If you were a double major, you could technically participate in two department commencement, in addition to the whole school one.
Here I thought it was the way it would be done at each university/college.
In all honesty, though, when I heard her say that she was doing this because she "tired" after doing 12 ceremonies, I knew that would be the soundbite that would end up kicking her butt. What a terrible thing to say.
It’s sad that they chose money over people over students who have worked hard and deserve this moment!
Wow ! Incredible Production Values !
I wanted to go to the ceremony but I honestly did not want to pay for everything to just sit there, not walk, not get my name called, etc. :')
As a CSULB student, I hate this graduation style.
Spot on
For a school that wants to be known as one of the most prominent in the CalState system, this is disheartening. Putting more pressure now and in the near future is better bc the contract at Angels is until 2026.
Can we take a moment to appreciate the production quality? I do think it's trying a too hard to be like Vox though.
I booed her
I stand for Tyler Obero and justice!
slay (L Conoley tho)
Still bummed from class of 22 😭
Are you tired bc you’re too busy giving yourself and your fellow colleagues bumps in your salaries and not doing your job to promote students in their educational journeys? The excuses! SMH graduating students are tired trying to make a path for themselves in this world without a 6 figure income
Let’s not forget- CSULB racially segregates graduation and only the “Regular Graduation” doesn’t get their name called
Lol they don’t racially segregate. The cultural ceremonies aren’t even organized by the university. They’re organized by clubs on campus, so if there’s some ethnicities/cultures not represented in the cultural ceremonies it’s because that club doesn’t exist or the club chose not to participate and chose not to host a graduation celebration
@@Sergio-rk1qy Each ethnicity/ cultural has their own graduation. It’s not like any are being left out. All the graduations are identical to a tee, only difference is skin color. The reason university won’t “organize” is because of legal purposes (civil rights act 1964).
Cal state Long Beach is woke university.
Oh boo hoo. Exhausting.
