Angry Howard U Parents

Hundreds of parents, many of them coming from across the country, left Howard University's commencement exercise on Saturday in a tizzy.

One DC parent whose son was graduating says, what should have been a proud moment was turned upside down when the outdoor graduation was moved into the tiny and antiquated Burr gym.

There was only enough room for the graduates,commencement speakers and other VIPs. Parents, siblings, and grandparents were dispatched to their homes or hotels to watch the event on TV!

Outgoing President Sweigert got failing grades for this fiasco. How about the Convention center or Armory as a backup?

There is always a chance of rain this time of year and Doppler radar which everyone has... had given us several days warning of what Saturday's weather would look like!
