I suspect that “St. Olaf” is a private institution. What state of federal law do you posit they might be violating. Please don’t say “The Constitution.”. Again, a private entity. Assuming a cause of action exists, what are the damages? I suspect that the kids’ transcripts will confirm completion of their coursework. So, a crappy thing to do, but that does not necessarily give rise to a cognizable claim.
I'm sure if this worked the other way, and straight white males were given a graduation ceremony and blacks, gays and trans people were told to wait, you'd have the exact same view, right? You'd be in here all "ackshually- there's no violation here, folks", I'm sure...

Ask your grandkids who Olaf is.
I haven't seen my grandkids since the lockdown and they don't have email accounts.

That can't be real.
I dont think the university is as a whole is having any graduations. It's just their diversity center decided to hold virtual graduations. It's stupid, but i dont think the university itself said we're only having graduations for minorities and the alphabet gang.

Article is bullshite. If they had just spent a little time researching they would know that this is just the Taylor Center clubs that are doing a virtual graduation. This would be no different then the chess club at your local college having a separate grad ceremony/party for it's members. They are trying to manufacture controversy where there is none. All normal graduation is scheduled for 2021. School clubs are free to do whatever they wish including having a private party to celebrate this year.

I still have a hard time believing this is real but maybe that is intentional.
I challenge anyone to try and get a news article like that on the front page of a main reddit sub. I'm guessing it will get deleted.

It is. There's enough out there to be genuinely outraged over, no need to make shite up.

Is that true?
Could a country club offer a whites only member event?
Could the NFL have a white people day where non-whites aren’t allowed to attend?
Could a different private institution have a whites only graduation day?
If we're being honest, yes they should be allowed to do those things.
Either all discrimination is wrong, or all discrimination is OK. It can't be halfway.
