Dozens

the local news outlet SFGate estimated it was as many as 200

No mention of how many people are graduating

Reee it's difficult to estimate how big of a deal this was if the total number of participants isn't mentioned.

That's almost dozens of dozens.

It's more than one and one third dozen dozens.

On wiki it says there are about 1700 undergrads per class, so if it's that plus some grad students at graduation, 200 walking out could be maybe a tenth of the attendees. Sounds pretty noticeable.

Very rare for the ceremony to be the entire graduating class. Its usually broken down by school.
