> Ever wondered why all degrees granting universities using Arabic styled robe during graduation?

i believe you mean “monastic robes”; parts of the regalia retain liturgical names. (like “stole”).

european universities retain a distinct monastic connection because that’s where many of them arose: monks teaching the wastrel children of the rich to be marginally more civilized.
