Cat graduates from UT Austin
(lemmy.world)
An orange tabby cat named Suki became the first honorary feline graduate of The University of Texas at Austin. According to FOX 7, UT student Francesca Bourdier spent most of her college career at home like any other college student, on Zoom with her cat by her side.
Bourduer said Suki attended every class she had online so she knew she had to include the one-and-a-half-year-old cat when graduation came around.
Through a quick search online, Bourdier was even able to buy Suki her own cap and gown.
It only attended lectures, but did no tests or quizzes? Even if it negotiated pass/fail grades on attendance and not exams, the degree should probably have stipulations requiring some number of credits be from letter grades.
At best, this cat was auditing classes. I do not believe it earned this degree and I would not hire it in the field based on it.
I find these statements discriminatory and have decided it's best we make sure they vote this cat to be Governor of Texas.
Cat's overqualified for that position.
