TO THE EDITOR:

I feel Miss Donaghue is misguided in her belief that Bloomberg should not be allowed to speak at graduation.

Michael Bloomberg is an incredible entrepreneur besides his actions as mayor. Many people in their lifetime do something controversial. Mr. Bloomberg’s views are not an attack on our community, rather him showing respect for Chapel Hill.

As a senior, I want to have a legendary commencement speaker. UNC has never had a speaker with the credentials and myriad experiences of Mr. Bloomberg. He might be part of the 1 percent, but I know 99 percent of seniors want him to speak. Miss Donaghue, you’re a sophomore, so don’t speak for me and my colleagues.
