apologized\u00a0<\/a>for the mistake while still getting booed and yelled at by the crowd. Hernandez told the graduates they could not walk the stage a second time to have their names read while they did so.\u00a0<\/p>\n“Each of you were able to walk the stage and get a picture, which is what I would hope is the most meaningful,” she said. “I am so sorry. There’s plenty of opportunities, I hope, to take some really good pictures and to celebrate you with your loved ones as well.”\u00a0<\/p>\n
After a few minutes and strong reactions from the crowd, the decision was reversed and graduates whose names were skipped were called up to the stage to walk again.\u00a0<\/p>\n
This time two people say the graduates’ names as they crossed the stage.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Maricopa Community Colleges released the following statement:<\/p>\n
“During one of our commencement ceremonies, there was a technical issue that impacted the reading of some graduate names.<\/p>\n
While the issue was corrected during the ceremony, we are sorry for the disruption it caused during what should have been a celebratory moment for our graduates and their families. We have also communicated directly with graduates to apologize for the experience.<\/p>\n
We are incredibly proud of all our graduates and are taking steps to ensure an issue like this does not occur again.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Dozens of students didn’t have their names called while they walked across the stage due to an AI…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":277741,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[116,118,117],"class_list":["post-277740","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-jacksonville","tag-jacksonville","tag-jacksonville-headlines","tag-jacksonville-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/277740","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=277740"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/277740\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/277741"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=277740"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=277740"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=277740"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
