Michelle Obama is set to speak at Dillard University's commencement ceremony (and, along with Bow Wow, will also promote higher education at Howard University this month). Her husband will be the official speaker at the University of California-Urvine's closing ceremonies. Vice President Joe Biden will make two (hopefully different) speeches at the University of South Carolina and his alma mater, the University of Delaware. In total, 10 of Obama's 16 cabinet members will be addressing at least one collegiate audience on their last day as collegians.

Because a Democrat is in the White House, it makes sense that a majority of this year's commencement's speakers are democrats. Yet, even where Republicans hold an advantage -- such as in the House of Representatives and among U.S. Governors -- more Democrats were chosen (or agreed) to speak. In those divisions of government, Democrats out-participated Republicans eight to five and eleven to five, respectively.  

Overall, 57 of the 83 politicians (68-69 percent) speaking at college graduations this spring are Democrats, Campus Reform reported.

Even in the category Campus Reform labels as appointees/political operatives, Democrats outpaced Republicans. Notable Democrats of this distinction include a collection of political persons turned actors and vice versa, such as Kal Penn, Jon Favreau, and George Stephanopoulos.

What if a Republican controlled the presidency? Would things really be that different? Probably not. College campuses are about as liberal as it gets. There'd probably be even a handful of Republican candidates (namely George Bush) that would offend certain colleges.
