Now they are pushing for it again. 

  • Columbia University in New York City will host six segregated commencement ceremonies in addition to its main graduation ceremony for all students.
  • The Ivy League institution faced swift backlash on Tuesday following the announcement.

Columbia University in New York City will host virtual graduation ceremonies segregated by race, sexual orientation, and socioeconomic status, in addition to its main commencement ceremonies for all students.

In order to “provide a more intimate setting for students who self-identify in a variety of ways,” the Ivy League school said these programs are a way to “complement” the main ceremonies.

The additional virtual ceremonies include the “Native Graduation Celebration,” “Lavender Graduation Celebration” for LGBTQ students, “Asian Graduation Celebration,” “First-generation and Low-Income student Graduation Celebration,” “Latinx Graduation Celebration,” and “Black Graduation Celebration.” 

The university faced swift backlash for promoting segregated graduation programming.
