Harvard Commencement Marred by Protests and Degree Denials

Hundreds of Harvard students walked out of the university's commencement ceremony in protest after 13 seniors were barred from graduating due to their involvement in campus demonstrations over the Gaza conflict. The decision by the Harvard Corporation sparked significant unrest, with chants of "Let them walk!" and criticism from student speakers. The university's interim president, Alan Garber, acknowledged the turmoil and asked for a minute of silence to reflect on global suffering.
