Livestream of graduation ceremony cuts out when pro-Hong Kong flag is held up as the Russell Group university cites 'protocol'
But for the 10 seconds that Mr Ma went on stage, picked up his graduation certificate, and then went off stage, the livestream was interrupted and switched to a generic image of the university’s logo. Declining the invitation to participate in the protest, a University of York registrar told Mr Ma that “whilst we can join together in expressing horror at human right violations, I’m sure you will appreciate that flags – and their associated symbolism – can elicit very different deep reactions, which could undermine this institutional position of mutual respect”.
“While we recognise that students do wear or hold protest materials in graduation ceremonies, it is protocol to change camera angles during live broadcasts if there is potential disruption on stage. Graduations are primarily an opportunity for our community to come together to celebrate and recognise all the achievements of our hard-working students.
