The listing, Goddard College Post Card (Read Description!!!!) has ended.
In 2014, the graduating class of the college's undergraduate program selected convicted murderer and Goddard alumnus Mumia Abu-Jamal as commencement speaker. Abu-Jamal earned his Goddard degree from prison via mail. Abu-Jamal's 1982 conviction for the murder of Philadelphia police officer Daniel Faulkner has remained controversial.[9] The decision to invite Abu-Jamal to speak was criticized by Faulkner's widow, US Sentator Pat Toomey, the Vermont Troopers Association, the Vermont Police Chiefs Association, the Fraternal Order of Police, and the Pennsylvania Department of Corrections.[ The college's interim President, Bob Kenny, supported the right of students to select a commencement speaker of their choosing. On October 5, the school released his commencement speech.
