After Marshawn Lynch was announced as Princeton’s upcoming senior “Class Day” speaker last week, some Princeton students expressed their disappointment about the speaker selection process that led to his nomination in an op-ed in the student newspaper.
“Many of us were disappointed when we saw that this year’s speaker was to be Marshawn Lynch, mainly because we did not feel included in the process by which this speaker was nominated and finally selected,” the students wrote in the Daily Princetonian.
Not to be confused with Princeton’s commencement ceremony, the senior “Class Day” takes place a few days before graduation.
