BOSTON (AP) — The University of Southern California has canceled its main stage graduation ceremony under new safety measures being taken as the campus is roiled by protests stemming from the Israel-Hamas war. The university announced the move Thursday, the day after more than 90 protesters were arrested on campus. The ceremony was scheduled for May 10. The university says it will still host dozens of commencement events, including all the traditional individual school commencement ceremonies where students cross a stage and receive their diplomas.

Left-wing, anti-Israel protests - there are no pro-Israeli protestors creating havoc on college campuses.

If left-wing states did their jobs and prevented violent protesters from taking over their campuses, USC seniors could have their commencement ceremonies - it's a big day in a person's life. Unfortunately, they won't. Maybe a few of those graduates will have their eyes opened.

I’m sorry the real students are missing out on their big day because of the idiots.

But in my experience, the individual College graduations are more intimate and fun (as long as the selfish idiots allow even those to take place...)

That is so terrible for the grads, who worked hard for 4 years so their proud parents could attend the graduation ceremony. It is absolutely criminal that a group of brainless amoral rabble could rob them of that special moment. The rabble should have had the stuffing beaten out of them and then tossed into jail.

They allow 90 protesters to ruin it for everybody?

Get rid of the 90 and move forward.

Just put it in the mail. That would be just fine. I did that in HS. We headed to the mountains that day instead.

They all should be expelled for violating discrimination policies.

If students did this crap to blacks, they’d be arrested and buried under the prison.

“The University of Southern California has canceled its main stage graduation ceremony under new safety measures being taken”

even better, why not just shutter the entire university and turn out all the lights? that would provide the ultimate “safety measures”, right?
