Universities across America are celebrating graduation season — but are commencement stages reflecting only one side of the political spectrum?

Michael Smerconish examines a new report claiming that elite colleges overwhelmingly select Democratic or left-leaning commencement speakers, raising questions about ideological diversity in higher education.

Featuring Princeton professor Robert P. George, this conversation explores whether universities are signaling political partisanship through the voices they choose to honor at graduation ceremonies.

The discussion also touches on:

• The role of commencement speeches in shaping campus culture
• Whether universities value ideological balance
• The rise of political polarization in higher education
• Eric Church’s viral commencement speech and political independence
• Why some believe colleges are abandoning viewpoint diversity

Do commencement speakers matter — or are critics reading too much into these selections?

Watch the full conversation and decide for yourself.
