Pro-Palestinian protests threaten graduation ceremonies

Pro-Palestinian protester encampments on college campuses across the country are threatening graduation ceremonies for the class of 2024, as many of the demonstrations are located at graduation sites and causing safety concerns for attending families.

Protests have swept the nation in the past two weeks, starting largely with Columbia University and spreading to colleges nationwide in “solidarity.” Hundreds of students and other activists have been arrested in connection to the encampments.
