U of M did not speak, just a faculty member and from the students perspective an unwelcome one. After all it was a party to welcome them into the university.
Shame on folks who walked? What about their right to avoid listening to drivel and use their time more wisely like communing, aka really partying?
Come on man, aren't you a university graduate and don't you know how students protest on campus?
PS: whell, as usual you are spreading total BS here. To begin with the UM annual White Coat Ceremony is hosted by UM for their incoming medical students.

White Coat Ceremony
White Coat CeremonyEach year, approximately 170 outstanding scholars are formally welcomed as the University of Michigan's newest class of medical students. This tradition, known as the White Coat Ceremony, marks an educational milestone: Entry into clinical medicine. Our incoming medical students gather in the presence of their families, mentors, guests, faculty members and leaders of the Medical School to formally receive the cloak of their future profession — the white coat — and you can help make it a reality.

The keynote speaker is just window dressing for what is a welcoming arty for the incoming medical students. You claim that they came to
their party just so they can stage a walkout?
