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.
