Controversy arises as Seoul National University predicts the graduation will be reduced in the aftermath of Corona 19 and only senior graduates from each college attend.

On the 13th, Seoul National University said, “We will reduce the size of the graduation ceremony and cancel the entrance ceremony because of concerns about the spread of Corona 19.” Participants are expected to attend the graduation, which will be held on the 26th.

The problem is that this "representative" is a senior graduate of each college. Only 66 out of 4,748 graduates (1.4%) can attend a graduation ceremony with up to two families.

The decision by Seoul National University was in contrast to the cancellation of the graduation ceremony by major universities in Seoul.


The author criticized the school's decision, saying, "I am so embarrassed to have such a pathetic graduation ceremony at Seoul National University, which I always used to be proud of.

"Everyone's grades are different, but they've all completed the long journey of college, and I'm really curious if it's right to make a festival for only a small number of selected people. What about? "

Currently, the article has received over 1000 likes.

As the controversy escalated, the school explained, "It's just a simplification of the existing degree presentations by selecting graduate representatives." "There will be a photo zone where you can take pictures separately from the meal, and if you want to, you can attend the late graduation ceremony in August."

However, the school's decision to hold its own graduation program with students based on their grades alone can't hide.
