Of NSU, graduation and the President
This letter is in response to the letter titled 'Convocation day can never be sad.' I totally agree, I never used the word sad to describe the graduation; I, however, go on to call the graduation at NSU extremely disappointing judging by its shambolic organization. Universities abroad host their convocations on campus, however, I don't think they leave the parents waiting to sweat for over an hour and run so ridiculously late on time. And I am also pretty sure arrangements are made so they sit where they can actually see the programme they are attending!
And I don't wish to demean the role of the President. However, freedom of expression gives me the right to question the integrity of a President whose age restricts him from the day-to-day acts of welcoming dignitaries and signing check books. My phrases were tongue-in-cheek and not meant to be patronizing. I would have hoped someone with a little sense of sarcasm would have appreciated it. I must thank you for your enlightening response. I look forward to locking horns again!
