DIPLOMA SUSPENDED for New York University student who used his entire graduation speech to falsely accuse Israel of genocide

Denigrating both the Jewish state and the United States for militarily and financially supporting Israel’s retaliatory war against terror group Hamas, who slaughtered and imprisoned more than 1500 innocent Israelis on Oct. 7th, Logan Rozos received both thunderous applause as well as loud boos from the student and faculty audience.

FOX News Rozas, a graduating student from the Gallatin School liberal art program, drew a sharp rebuke from the university after repeatedly referring to Israel’s actions in Gaza as a “genocide” that was being perpetuated with the support of the United States. In fact, New York University may have ignored its own protocols for commencement speakers, allowing a student speaker to complete a divisive anti-Israel speech at its Gallatin School graduation.

NYU spokesperson John Beckman condemned the speech and said that NYU was “deeply sorry that the audience was subjected to these remarks.” Beckman said Rozos deviated from approved remarks and the university is now withholding Rozos’ diploma while it pursues disciplinary actions.

“He lied about the speech he was going to deliver and violated the commitment he made to comply with our rules,” Beckman said in a statement Wednesday. “NYU is deeply sorry that the audience was subjected to these remarks and that this moment was stolen by someone who abused a privilege that was conferred upon him.”

Jewish groups sharply criticized Rozos’ remarks and praised NYU for acting quickly on the matter. “No student — especially Jewish students — should have to sit through politicized rhetoric that promotes harmful lies about Israel during such a personal milestone,” the Anti-Defamation League said in a statement. “We are thankful to the NYU administration for their strong condemnation and their pursuit of disciplinary action.”

The documentary non-profit Fireflight Media describes Rozos in a profile page as an “actor, artist, and gay Black trans man.” (An identity that would get him thrown off a roof in his beloved Palestine)

NYU is one of 10 universities being investigated by the Trump administration’s antisemitism taskforce.

NY PostAn NYU insider who’s been at the school decades told The Post Rozos should have never been allowed to finish his speech. “There’s definitely a breakdown in protocol. When someone goes off script, the mic is supposed to be cut. These events are produced to the syllable because they need to be.

“It’s supposed to be zero surprises – 100 percent by design.” The insider added that “the real question is if there were faculty on the inside who put him up to this.”

Fellow grads were aghast NYU allowed Rozos to finish the “inflammatory” and “incredibly narcissistic” diatribe at the Beacon Theatre ceremony. “They absolutely should have cut it off and not applauded him,” fumed Sabrina Maslavi, a Gallatin grad who settled a federal antimsemitism lawsuit with NYU last year.

Maslavi told the Post that the “inappropriate” speech “definitely ruined my graduation for me and my family,” estimating about half of faculty on the dais openly supported the screed. “They applauded him and let him finish. And after he sat down, the faculty still applauded him.” She claimed she was shunned when she didn’t follow fellow grads in giving him a standing ovation. “I got the death stare.”

Another grad groused about the “horrible” and “embarrassing” spectacle for the institution. “It took any prestige they had and squashed it,” the grad said, adding that Rozos “should have been pulled off the stage.”

Jeff Rabhan, father of a Gallatin grad, ripped NYU, where he was chair of the Clive Davis Institute of Recorded Music for 11 years. “You can’t tell me they didn’t discuss the possibility of this happening,” he said. “There was plenty of opportunity to right the wrong,” seethed the dad about not cutting off the student. “It’s offensive for families who spend $250,000” for the NYU degree.
