Rejected petition Allow graduations for Teesside University to go ahead
Rejected on
Graduations to go ahead. A graduation is a celebration of the final years in education and after a lot of hard work a celebration is needed. Especially after the COVID-19 pandemic where a lot of students have struggled in their studies.
Usually a graduation will take place in the summer and summer 2021 COVID-19 restrictions are being lifted allowing music festivals and sports stadiums to hold a large amount of people attending. It seems unfair that a graduation of a lot less people can not go ahead.
