A video of an Egyptian youth celebrating his graduation from Zagazig University by dancing has gone viral on social media in the past few hours. The video received significant engagement, with mixed reactions among supporters and critics. Some criticized the young man's actions and the faculty's response, while others emphasized that his behavior was a heartfelt expression of joy at his graduation.
Zagazig University issued an official statement confirming the investigation into the incident of the student's dance at the graduation ceremony of the Faculty of Commerce. The university noted that the student's behavior was "individual" but did not align with the university's values and traditions, advocating for adherence to community norms and public decorum.
In their statement, the university emphasized the importance of upholding university traditions, ethics, and public morals, which they instill in their students. They acknowledged that the incident was a personal expression of joy but had exceeded acceptable norms in a way that does not fit the university's esteemed status as a house of knowledge and scholars. Consequently, the matter is being investigated.
