TL;DR Summary

MIT's 2025 class president, Megha Vemuri, was barred from attending her graduation after delivering a pro-Palestinian speech criticizing MIT's ties to Israel, which was deemed misleading and disruptive by officials. Despite receiving her degree by mail, she expressed disappointment and viewed the punishment as overreach, amid broader campus tensions over Middle East conflicts and free expression debates.
