The Fall of Embry-Riddle Part 3

This may be my last update to the Embry-Riddle story, as my anonymous source seems to have gone dark. I was able to get one more interview with them, though. Picking up the day after the events of the last post, my source described the events of graduation at the Embry-Riddle Prescott campus. According to my source, "the engineering students staged a massive protest in favor of the professors by standing up when the President spoke and turning their backs to him, and some audience members followed suit. This lasted for the entire duration of his speech." During this time, "the President did not look up once or acknowledge any audience members or students. Instead, his eyes seemed to be glued to the speech in front of him, which was a repetition of speeches which had been said in previous years" according to my source. The President also supposedly stayed seated for the entire duration of graduation instead of shaking the graduates' hands, and his eyes were glued to anything other than the audience or the graduates for the entire duration of graduation. I was able to find this video of the Spring 2023 graduation ceremony, and there are some odd things about it. First, the video mostly focuses on the crowd, with minimal attention given to the speakers or the graduates especially near the beginning. However, significantly more damning, you can see at 3:18 that some members of the crowd are standing with their backs turned, exactly as my anonymous source described. While not enough to outright confirm anything, this does a lot to corroborate my source's claims. The most bizarre thing about this story, though, is the lack of any other media coverage. I was not able to find any sort of coverage of these protests from any media outlets I have available. This would normally be enough to cause me to assume my anonymous source is lying to me, but I was able to corroborate a lot of their claims with my own research. Therefore, I can only see one real possibility; the media isn't talking about it, because they are being told not to, either financially or by the government. Many of the graduates from Embry-Riddle either go into government work or the aviation engineering industry, both of which have become quite well-known for cover-ups involving "suicide", and my source did unexpectedly go dark. While I do not expect the same to happen to me, for the record, I am of sound mind and body and have no suicidal ideations.
