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.

200 is over sixteen dozens
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.
Their ego is disgusting, every time they open their mouths they are met with disdain and they still don't get it.
They don't need to. They're still making more each year than you or I will make in our entire lives.
They make more than we’ll make in our lives before lunch. Every day.
His current pay package is about $233m/yr. That's about $112k/day. I think your math might be off. Even if you make $7.25/hr, you'll make $112k in just over eight years. Still an absurd disparity, but not as far as you say.
BLS lists the median annual salary as $62k. So, he does make more money in a half day than the majority of Americans make in a year. There's no way any one person deserves that much money.
Whatever happened to booing and jeering. Chase these goblins off their stage.
Many of these schools forbid stuff like this and will withhold diplomas and such. This i think it's far more effective. Hey up and walk the fuck out everyone sees you and sees them.

Coming soon to a USA near you: Constitutional amendment 28: Freedom of oppression. Indoctrination starting at the college/university level.
And then some of those that walked out will work for Google also due to job market shit fuckery. What a time to be alive
New grads can get jobs?
I've seen it happen! She... lives in Canada, you wouldn't know her
nichole?
Oh, so you do know her
Then they used their google phone outside to use a google platform to send their meme about it and then laughed at friends writing them on gmail accounts.
~~yes but will any of them take a actual step in the right direction like degoogling and/or closing their Meta or Xitter accounts?~~
Edit: After thinking about this yesterday I realized I was wrong. I am indeed frustrated with the inaction of the American people and their letting loose of a menace that is literally killing thousands around the world and just making everything miserable in its path. However, these graduates were actually doing something to fight power; I should have commended their walk out, not complain about shortcomings.
Leaving the original comment up (but stroked through) so the thread below makes sense for those who come in later.
