A principled student said in a grad speech that the “only appropriate thing to say in this moment” is to acknowledge the “atrocities” currently being committed in Palestine.
In response, NYU is withholding their diploma + apologizing to the community for the trauma the audience was “subjected to.”

You really went full circle, it seems, Sir.
I note that there is no question that Hamas perpetrated a terrorist attack.

The horror.
They literally are still holding 58 hostages.
I didn’t see this privileged kid’s graduation comments about the hostages.
I see you think that Palestinians should be blamed for the idf's repulsive genocidal conduct. Imagine that.
Israel has already starved 59 children to death.

We know what "community" NYU is talking about specifically. It's clear that zionism has normalized rabid anti-Palestinian hatred and being openly genocidal towards Palestinians as far as this community goes.
There's only so long we can pretend.
1: what Hamas did was evil and horrible
2: what Israel is doing is evil and horrible
To withhold their degree is absurd and I hope they get their asses sued.

NYU, is that Nazi Youth University?
Across the board our country is in a really bad place.
At least the stock market is ripping!

Bar them from the alumni newsletter for 5 years(still asinine) but acting like education can only count when certified by admin & not their teachers is criminal.
Prob is, this speech didn't make NYU look bad; it makes its investors look bad
The President: As I look out on you, I breathe a sigh of relief that most of you are leaving.
Israel is not the "Christian zionist state". It's not a Christian cross on the israeli flag. If you can't admit that the Jewish community has an extremism problem then you're no help.
We're seeing that in real time right now.
That punishment never, ever made sense to me.
Aren’t these the same people who complain that it young people were being coddled by trigger warnings?
Shame on NYU.
1st Amendment.
But I hope this graduate goes after NYU for illegally withholding the graduation certification they earned.

So, a student speaker is expected to be a puppet? The honor should be an empowerment, not a trap on a dais!
What a fucking joke.
as he is usually a little coward bitch
On the plus side it saves me any hesitation about not contributing to them when they inevitably call seeking money.
This shit is deep and started a LONG time ago.
I'm sure if they had expressed pro capitalist or pro military or pro whatever safe ideology that doesn't offend the public the university response would be the same /s
What is the point of going to university if it's not to be exposed to ideas?
