Florida college threatens to withhold degrees from pro-Palestinian protesters

The New College of Florida is gearing up to withhold diplomas from several students who disrupted the school’s May 17 commencement ceremony with pro-Palestinian chants.

According to a statement from the school, the Office of Student Affairs filed conduct violation complaints against five students who disrupted the commencement, booing speaker Joe Ricketts, founder and former CEO of TD Ameritrade, and shouting expletives and “free Palestine!”
