Graduation Plans for 2020 and 2021 Students
Dear University of Brighton,
I am writing to make an open government request for all the information to which I am entitled under the Freedom of Information Act 2000.
I have an interest in how you have approached your graduation ceremonies during the Coronavirus pandemic. Please could you answer the following:
1) For your students who graduated in 2020, have they had an in-person graduation yet?
2) If no to question 1., are there plans to have an in-person graduation, when restrictions have been lifted? If so, will they be the same as previous cohorts (2019, 2018, etc.) and when are they currently planned for?
3) For your students who are due to graduate in 2021, will they have an in-person graduation? If no, what are your plans for these students?
Yours faithfully,
Kamran Ali
