Thirteen students who participated in the three-week-long pro-Hamas/anti-Israel encampment in Harvard Yard did not receive their diplomas alongside their classmates after Harvard University’s governing body rejected a motion that would allow them to graduate.
Boston25News The Harvard Corporation, the university’s governing body, said Wednesday the 13 students will be able to participate in the ceremony but will not receive their degrees, citing the Harvard College handbook.
“Today, we have voted to confer 1,539 degrees to Harvard College students in good standing. Because the students included as the result of Monday’s amendment are not in good standing, we cannot responsibly vote to award them degrees at this time,” the Harvard Corporation stated on the school’s website.
“Each of these students has been found by the College’s Administrative Board—the body established by the FAS faculty to investigate and adjudicate disciplinary matters—to have violated the University’s policies by their conduct during their participation in the recent encampment in Harvard Yard,” the statement from the Presidents and Fellows of Harvard reads. “We respect each faculty’s responsibility to determine appropriate discipline for its students. Monday’s faculty vote did not, however, revisit these disciplinary rulings, did not purport to engage in the individualized assessment of each case that would ordinarily be required to do so, and, most importantly, did not claim to restore the students to good standing.”

To quote a meme. “Oh no! Anyway”.

Oh, those poor, poor babies. Some of them (maybe all) will resent that consequence – It’s deserved, you thug punks!- and will self- radicalize even more. They’ve been so insidiously indoctrinated they probably can never be reformed.

About time.

Should have been expelled and not be allowed back to get their diplomas at all. Should have been more than 13 students. Kick out the teachers too.

13 will not receive their diplomas at all. Four years of work down the drain because of their despicable actions on campus. Good! Too bad the student speaking pro-Hamas at the ceremony can’t be deprived of hers as well.

bet their parents are proud.
Allan Stern says
Students will probably sue the university for mental anguish and duress.
