New York University has denied a diploma to the student who used a graduation speech to criticize Israel and condemn the 'genocide' in Gaza. Logan Rozos, 24, gave the controversial remarks at NYU's Gallatin School commencement ceremony on Wednesday. 'My moral and political commitments guide me to say that the only thing that is appropriate to say in this time, and to a group this large, is a recognition of the atrocities currently happening in Palestine,' the graduate said to roaring applause.
