President reminded the Adminstrator on Lavish Graduation Ceremonies

In time of graduation season, the Departmentof Education and the Commission on Higher Education should issue reminders to schools that graduation rites should be lean on cost nut long in the imparting of valuable messages.

It has become a habit for lavish and excessive graduation ceremonies to be paid for by collections from students. Schools at all levels should desist from such practices.

School administrators should be reminded that it is their duty to curb excess in very form and guse especially with the cost being borne by others.

Graduatin rites can be memorable, exciting and animated without the baggage of extra cost and excessive spending
