A new group at WVU says it will protest during graduation ceremonies in wake of president Mike Garrison's refusal to resign. But as we found out, students are not open to having their special day tainted.

The group is called MIR, or Mountaineers for Integrity and Responsibility. It's made up of faculty, students and alumni at the university.

It says it will "make its presence known" at commencement exercises next week. The group wants to convince legislators that change is needed to restore the academic integrity at the school. This comes less than a week after faculty senate members voted "no confidence" in the president.

We talked to several students today who were not too happy about having to share their graduation with the cause. They say there is a time and a place, and graduation is not it.

Some members or MIR say the protest will be silent, and to their knowledge will not disrupt the ceremony. In a statement, the group says "Mountaineers for Integrity and Responsibility (MIR) does not intend, and never intended, to disrupt Commencement exercises. We have worked side by side with these students -- we have witnessed, first hand, the hard work they have done to reach this point -- and we intend to honor and celebrate them, as our members, collectively, have done at hundreds of Commencement exercises.

We recognize that a large number of these students are deeply disappointed with President Garrison, whose actions and words have demeaned the very degrees they will be receiving. As proponents of free speech, we encourage them to find respectful ways to express their dissatisfaction and dismay."
