Dozens

the local news outlet SFGate estimated it was as many as 200

No mention of how many people are graduating

Reee it's difficult to estimate how big of a deal this was if the total number of participants isn't mentioned.

On wiki it says there are about 1700 undergrads per class, so if it's that plus some grad students at graduation, 200 walking out could be maybe a tenth of the attendees. Sounds pretty noticeable.

Very rare for the ceremony to be the entire graduating class. Its usually broken down by school.

[-] Fmstrat@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

There's a video floating around.

[-] pdxfed@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

1700 students graduating, little shock one may have had a cell phone

[-] isVeryLoud@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 month ago

1/18th of the student population walked out.

[-] Seleni@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

I guess that’s kind of like dozens…
