According to twitter, he is not handing out diplomas or shaking anyone's hands.

He can claim to have attended but he isn't putting himself out there for scorn and ridicule.

Headline should read "Under Intense Scrutiny Watts can't get Up".

Bigger question will be if he's still president when some of the sr athletes walk especially the fb players, does he have the courage & honor to be up there when they do?

He's not doing the speech, handing out diplomas, or shaking hands. He's sitting in the line of dignitaries on the back side of the stage with a table between them and the line of grads walking past.

Maybe he has a cold and forgot to bring hand sanitizer. He is a doctor after all.

He's at the back of the stage in the line of dignitaries, not doing the speech, handing out diplomas, or shaking hands. There is a table between them and the line of grads filing past. I saw on FB that one said he had laid a cutout football on the table. UAB knew pretty well what was planned and acted to defuse it.

Still how weak does he look as a result? He's so despised that he cannot participate in graduation.

My kids wanted to know where Jabba the Watts lived. After we left the Alumni gathering I drove them by the Woodward House. There was a UAB police cruiser parked by the front gate. SMH

RE: BREAKING: Watts will not attend commencement
I was at the afternoon graduation, and they tried to draw as little attention as possible to Watts' lack of participation.

Not once was he ever acknowledged.

Also, Dr. Linda Lucas was never introduced, nor was it ever stated that she was the provost. I assume the majority of attendees just assumed she was the president.

Edit: They didn't hand out diplomas to graduates this year. Is that a recent thing?

You don't get your diploma there. Just a handshake. The diploma comes in the mail later.

Queen Anne handed me an NAS flier. My degree came in the mail a few weeks later.

I know the actual diploma comes in the mail, but I seem to remember being handed a diploma binder, but I could be wrong.
