Southampton Institute is presently reviewing the topic of playing/singing
the National Anthem at the end of their Graduation Ceremonies.
I do recall, in the dim and distant past, that there was some discussion
on this matter on the mailbase.
However, can I ask whether other hei's have taken the decision not to
play/sing the National Anthem at their Graduation Ceremonies and if so did
they consult with their student body/their guests/or academic staff?
I realise that this might be a "sensitive" issue but any experience on this
issue would be appreciated.
With thanks
