The Michigan Daily - michigandaily.com Friday, March 14, 2008 - 7 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. the michigan c GREAT 2 BDRM apt. avail. in prime location!
