Special education students at California State University, East Bay, are feeling frustrated and disheartened after the administration announced that they would not be allowed to participate in the traditional graduation ceremony. This decision has sparked a wave of disappointment among students who have worked tirelessly to reach this significant milestone in their academic journeys.
Many students had looked forward to the opportunity to celebrate their achievements alongside their peers, donning caps and gowns as they walked across the stage. However, the recent announcement has left them feeling excluded and undervalued. The lack of inclusion in such a pivotal moment is seen as a setback for a community that has already faced numerous challenges throughout their educational experiences.
Students and advocates are calling for a reevaluation of the decision, emphasizing the importance of inclusivity in graduation ceremonies. As the situation unfolds, the voices of these students highlight the need for greater awareness and support for special education programs within the university.
