Hundreds of students in graduation robes walked out of the Harvard commencement on Thursday chanting “Free, free Palestine” after weeks of protests on campus and a day after the school announced that 13 Harvard students who participated in a protest encampment would not be able to receive diplomas alongside their classmates.

Some students chanted “Let them walk, let them walk” during Thursday’s commencement, referring to allowing those 13 students to get their diplomas along with fellow graduates.

You should be able to sue. You spent 4 years and fuck ton of money going to Harvard. If you have the grades and credits they should not be able to hold your diploma.

Has anyone clarified? The way I’m reading it is that they’ll still get their degree and graduate. They’re just barred from walking the stage and participating in the ceremony.

Yeah read it somewhere else. Figure because I didn't think they could bar them from getting their degrees altogether. I still sue because we have right protest and they worked hard to graduate so they should get walk down that aile.
