As someone who has helped coordinate graduation ceremonies more times than I care to count, I will throw in my 2 cents. It really boils down to one issue--rules vs. no rules. Requiring uniformity with dress poses
no real hardship on anyone and helps to dignify the ceremony. If this was a hardship posed upon her, she should have sought to resolve it
during the weeks leading up to the ceremony rather than grandstanding
in order to have things her way. Most educators are flexible and understanding and exceptions can be made where justified. I do feel
that denying her admission to sit in the audience was going a bit far unless she had specifically stated that she intended to disrupt the
ceremony. Sadly, disruptions are not all that uncommon and and must
be dealt with by removal from the audience and/or arrests by a uniformed
officer. The alternative to uniformity is to have no standards of dress or behavior and I have witnessed one of those unfortunately. You only want
to attend one like that. My experience was that the majority of students
want and deserve a dignified ceremony. To disallow them that opportunity would be true injustice!
