Harvard rejects effort to let 13 pro-Palestinian student encampment members graduate

Harvard University rejected an effort to confer a degree on 13 students who were disciplined for participating in a pro-Palestinian encampment.

An overwhelming majority of the 115 members of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences voted to confer degrees on the 13 seniors, who had been given disciplinary charges from the Harvard College Administrative Board three days earlier, the Harvard Crimson reported. The decision was vetoed by the Harvard Corporation, the highest governing body at the college.
