Postpone the Cancellation of In-Person Graduation and Look at Alternative Solutions

The Universities decision to cancel in-person Graduation is a decision taken much too early and principally due to the fact that planning a graduation ceremony would be difficult. I believe the University has not done enough to at least try and look at the logistics of an in-person graduation ceremony, even if this had to be an outdoor event. Cancelling it 5 months in advance is uncalled for.
