Howard University abruptly ended its graduation ceremony for the College of Nursing and Allied Health Sciences on Thursday, just one hour after it commenced. A video recording showed a damaged door at the Cramton Auditorium, with a group of individuals gathered outside.
The Hilltop, Howard University's student newspaper, reported that crowds began to form two hours prior to the scheduled 6 p.m. start time. The event, which was not ticketed, saw university security closing the doors to the building's foyer once it reached its 1,500-seat capacity. Despite the auditorium's ability to accommodate an estimated 3-4 attendees per graduate, the ceremony had to be halted.
Dean Gina Spivey-Brown of CNAHS addressed the crowd, stating, "Because of the size of the room, and because our relatives sometimes do not know how to act, the fire department is now here to shut us down." However, fire officials clarified later that they did not intervene to stop the ceremony.
The incident prompted a medical response from D.C. Fire and EMS at 6:42 p.m. for a patient evaluation, but transport was refused, and the officials departed. Howard University issued an apology the following day, promising a review of their crowd control policies.
Howard President Ben Vinson III acknowledged the graduates during the university's commencement ceremony on Saturday, expressing regret for the disruptions earlier in the week. The College of Nursing and Allied Health Sciences' ceremony eventually resumed after the main commencement.
