I received an email from our Dean of Students today regarding graduation and found a few comments to be very particular to law school....
"As you can imagine, because of security for the Prime Minister [of Kenya], your family members will not be able to approach the stage to take pictures at Commencement. I am in the process of hiring a photographer to take pictures of you receiving your diploma, which would then be available to purchase from a photographer."
Not only are we having to concern ourselves with possible assisination attempts against our commencement speaker, but we're also being forced to purchase pictures of ourselves getting our diplomas. Hmm...frivilous antitrust/monopoly claim, anyone?
"Tickets: ...Each graduating student will have six tickets reserved in his or her name. We have no extra tickets, so please do not ask (and no parents or politicians calling - I HAVE NO EXTRA TICKETS!)"
Apparrently the calls from politicians (who are likely also parents/grandparents of graduates) has been a real issue in the past. What a wonderful use of taxpayer dollars that a politician would take 15 minutes out of his/her day to call SUNY Buffalo Law School and put pressure on the Dean of Students for a few lousy graduation tickets. If it's that big of a deal they can have a few of my tickets (if I even get to go) as I'll probably only be using 3 of my 6.
You know, if they held the ceremony outside on a beautiful Buffalo spring day (springtime is very nice here) ticket availability wouldn't be an issue....just a thought.
