<p>The University of Nevada, Las Vegas hosted five “affinity” graduation events earlier this month, Campus Reform <a href="https://www.campusreform.org/article/university-of-nevada-hosts-multiple-segregated-graduations-/25519" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>, including celebrations for Asian and Pacific American, “Latinx,” Native American, African American, and LGBT students.</p>
<p>&#8220;Please join us for our Affinity Graduations sponsored by Student Diversity Programs; which include APMIE, Latinx, Lavender, and Native Convocation,” the school <a href="https://involvementcenter.unlv.edu/event/10083881" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wrote</a>, adding that participating students would “be provided a stole to wear at commencement as a part of the ceremony.”</p>
<p>The university system’s Reno campus offered similar graduation celebrations, Campus Reform reported.</p>
<p>“By recognizing and honoring different cultural traditions and themes, the celebrations create spaces where students can feel proud of their heritage and share it with others. These celebrations help foster a sense of belonging and inclusivity for students of diverse backgrounds,” student supervisor Emily Thao-Singh in <a href="https://www.unr.edu/nevada-today/news/2024/affinity-graduate-celebrations" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a campus statement</a>.</p>
<p>The affinity celebrations were scheduled to take place ahead of the university’s official spring commencement ceremonies.</p>
<p>In April, “Dirty Jobs” Host Mike Rowe <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/mike-rowe-slams-harvards-segregation-celebrations" target="_blank" rel="noopener">blasted</a> Harvard University’s use of affinity celebrations, asking, “What better way to celebrate Harvard’s rich commitment to diversity, [than] by encouraging diverse groups to celebrate separately?”</p>
<p>“These [affinity] celebrations allow students to separate themselves from each other based on their racial and ethnic identities, and then, celebrate graduation with their own kind,” Rowe wrote <a href="https://www.facebook.com/100044228419568/posts/pfbid037e5bvraYn8FoWhoUWawHFMkfgQT669HJnDKrhHkK8XxoJaHtCHR22ofu63EmqVaUl/?mibextid=cr9u03" target="_blank" rel="noopener">on Facebook</a>.</p>
<p>“I’m old enough to remember when this was called ‘segregation,&#8217;” he added. “At Harvard, they call it ‘affinity.’ To be fair, Harvard’s website says these celebrations are not in lieu of the official graduation, and open to all students who pre-register. But the celebrations themselves are clearly labeled, and the invitees are hard to misconstrue.”</p>
<p>Other schools have offered similar ceremonies for years. In 2021, The Daily Wire <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/columbia-to-host-six-graduation-ceremonies-divided-by-sex-race-income" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> that Columbia University would host six separate graduation ceremonies segregated by student race, sex, and income. Days later, Columbia <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/columbia-university-reverses-course-sort-of-on-segregated-graduation-ceremonies-now-calls-them-celebrations" target="_blank" rel="noopener">clarified</a> that the segregated events were not graduation ceremonies, but celebrations.</p>
<p>The College Fix <a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/after-backlash-columbia-stealthily-changes-segregated-grad-ceremonies-to-celebrations/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> at the time that in response to the backlash the university received for the segregated “Multicultural Graduation Ceremonies,” the school’s website <a href="https://www.cc-seas.columbia.edu/multicultural/graduateregistration" target="_blank" rel="noopener">was quietly changed</a> to call them “Multicultural Graduation Celebrations.”</p>
<p>The Fix reported in its original article on the ceremonies that they were in addition to the graduation ceremonies for the entire “Ivy League university and its individual schools.”</p>
<p>“In most instances, these smaller, multicultural gatherings evolved from ceremonies originally created by alumni and students,” a school spokesperson told the outlet in an email. “The gatherings are voluntary, open to every student who wants to participate, and have become a highly anticipated and meaningful part of the Columbia graduation experience.”</p>
