Some parents of graduating Spelman College students were unable to attend the school’s graduation exercises last Sunday, when traffic and weather near the Atlanta University Center delayed their arrival in time for Spelman’s 2:30 entrance deadline. From the Atlanta Journal-Constitution:
Spelman officials said they didn’t do anything different than in past years, but parents who said they arrived at or just after 2:30 p.m. for the 3 p.m. ceremony said some leeway should have been given, due to the rainy weather and the fact the President Barack Obama’s motorcade rerouted or delayed traffic when he came to Morehouse College to speak at the school’s commencement.
“This is not a happy day,” said Melvin Cox of Oakland, Calif., who missed his only child’s graduation. “I can’t put into words how upset I am.”
According to the AJC, Spelman expressed regret for the inconvenience, and cited safety measures and protocol as reasons for the blocked access.
