COMMENCEMENT
From Page 1
rational, communal thing you can
pointto in our college."
Adam Playford, editor in chief of
the WashingtonSquare News,NYU's
student newspaper, said many stu-
dents - including Mets fans - were
disappointed by the move to Yan-
kee Stadium because they so closely
associate Washington Square Park
with the university.
"Graduating at Washington
Square Park is part of the experi-
ence; it's part of what makes us
NYU," Playford said. "But I think
students understand that the
administration didn't have a choice
in the renovations."
The renovations to Washington
Square Park are taking place in seg-
ments, which means that the park
will never be closed entirely, but
that it won't be able to host NYU's
commencement for at least two
years, an NYU administrator told
the Washington Square News.
NYU spokeswoman Kelly Frank-
lin said the school began looking
into alternative locations for com-
mencement as soon as it learned
Washington Square Park's renova-
tions would prevent the school from
holdingthe ceremony there.
NYU administrators went to
many of the same lengths as Uni-
versity of Michigan administrators
to ensure that this spring's com-
mencement ceremony retained the
same emotional importance for
graduating seniors as at the tradi-
tionalvenue.
Just as University of Michigan
administrators promised to create
a "maize and blue feel" to Eastern
Michigan University's Rynearson
Stadium when the football stadium
was still in consideration, NYU
administrators offered to do the
same in'The House that Ruth Built,'
going so far as to suggest recreating
the Washington Square arch out of
cake frosting.
Just like the University of Michi-
gan, NYU's senior class council
hosted a "Conversations on Com-
mencement" student forum to dis-
cuss ways to make Yankee Stadium
feel more like Greenwich Village.
Some studentsinterviewed voiced
concerns about a commencement
outside of Manhattan. Commuting
to Yankee Stadium from NYU via
subway, for example, means a 22-
minute ride, students said.
NYU also had to move the cer-
emony to May 14, a day earlier than
usual, to accommodate the Yankees'
playing schedule.
Jane Timm, a student at NYU and
an editor at the Washington Square
News, said the Yankees were wor-
ried aboutholdingtheceremonyone
day before a game because cleaning
the stadium would take time.
As was the case at the University
of Michigan, students at NYU felt
their university didn'tsolicit enough
student input before making the
decision to move the ceremony to
Yankee Stadium.
Last month, the Washington
Square News published an editorial
lambastingthe NYU administration
for not accounting for the opinions
of students before deciding on Yan-
kee Stadium.
"Students don't know what
options the university has explored,
or how our administrators made
the final decision. No one asked us
where we'd prefer to graduate," the
editorial read. "While we want to
see more transparency in NYU's
policies in general, we think that
shutting out students' voices on
such an emotionally resonant issue
is absurd."
The administration spoke with
students in 2003 when renovation
plans were first announced, but the
editorialboard thought current stu-
dents could have been consulted as
well, Playford said.
Franklin said finding a large
enough venue for the graduating
class and their families, one that
could hold at least 20,000 people,
was a difficult challenge, and forced
administratorstolooktostadiumsas
their main options. Yankee Stadium
has a capacity of almost 57,000.
"We looked at all available options
and weighed various factors-includ-
ing but not limited to feedback from
students,locations related to our core
campus, time and date availability,
access by public transportation, and
the status of the location - before
selecting Yankee Stadium," she said.
"The University Senate composed of
faculty, students, and administrators
voted to conduct the ceremony at the
stadium."
This is the last year that events
will be held in Yankee Stadium. The
ball club hopes to finish construc-
tion of a new stadium, which began
in August of 2006, by 2009, accord-
ing to the stadium's website.
