The black graduate of a Queens community college who went viral for grabbing a microphone from a white educator over a name snub has been slammed by her school — which called her actions “unacceptable.”
LaGuardia Community College said it is looking into the incident involving digital creator Kadia Iman, who tussled with the unnamed educator at the June 21 commencement ceremony.
“An incident occurred involving one graduate who demonstrated their frustration during the student procession for not being able to hold the microphone while they announced their name,” Manny Romero, the school’s chief spokesman, told The Post in an email Monday.
“As a process for keeping the ceremony running in an orderly manner, students are given the opportunity to say their name while a volunteer holds the microphone. None of the students are allowed to hold the microphone to avoid any delay of the student procession and the ceremony,” Romero continued.
