Watts Silent At UAB Graduation

((HT: ABC3340))

It may have been a prudent move- considering the current atmosphere on his campus...
It may have been a silly move- considering the current atmosphere on campus...
It may have been a move of hubris- considering the current atmosphere on campus...

The HQ figures it was all three and a few more emotions wrapped in...

Yesterday was Graduation day on the UAB campus and President Ray Watts chose not to speak to his graduating class- choosing instead to have a prepared statement released to the media and all those attending.

Watts also hose not to shake hands with his graduates- although it would have been interesting to hear the conversations.

Here was the most contentious graduation ceremony in recent memory on any campus
ABC 33/40 - Birmingham News, Weather, Sports

President Watts did not attend the doctoral hooding ceremony that afternoon, either. He has also had to cancel a speaking engagement at a suburban Chamber meeting- by mutual consent.

Heavy sponsors for the athletic program are pulling out now as well...

Congratulations...
