Harvard Commencement Interrupted by Pro-Palestinian Chants

ai generated text

A recent Harvard commencement ceremony saw hundreds of students walk out, chanting "Free, Free Palestine" in protest. This follows a university decision not to award diplomas to 13 students who participated in pro-Palestine protests. The decision was made despite faculty members recommending that the students be allowed to graduate. In contrast, some students chanted "Let them walk, let them walk", referring to allowing the affected students to receive their diplomas.

    1. The campus protests are testing everyone in America. Protests are healthy. They shouldn't be violent. They shouldn't be silenced.

    1. By rejecting a democratic faculty vote, the Corporation has proved itself to be a wholly illegitimate body, and Garber an illegitimate president, accountable to no one at the university.

    Harvard University
    1. In coming to this determination, we note that the express provisions of the Harvard College Student Handbook state that students who are not in good standing are not eligible for degrees.
    2. We care deeply about every member of our community – students, faculty, staff, researchers and alumni – and we have chosen a path forward that accords with our responsibilities and reaffirms a process for our students to receive prompt and fair review.
