DANGER! Mortar Boards!

What in the name of all that is holy is this country coming to? Graduates now not allowed to throw their hats? WHAT?


"Get hurt"??? Is that a joke?

If I was a student at Anglia Ruskin, I'd be demanding a portion of my fees back.

they only asked,of course graduates are free to ignore them as erm........they already graduated! I bet the poohniversity is saying this to cover their arses in case of an accident. were someone to graduate, and instantly lose an eye on campus, the compensation claims could be astronomical. now the mortar board throwing graduate is liable. welcome to the 51st state.

The hat-throwing is pure American cheese anyway. Like Halloween, it's crept over the pond, and like Halloween, I rather wish it hadn't.

I suspect mainly, the university doesn't want the hats to get damaged - I wonder who Ede & Ravenscroft bill for damaged hats each year?
