They're withholding his diploma over this?! He should sue them.

NYU conditioned a student's right to speak at graduation on his agreement not to call attention to human rights abuses. www.nyu.edu/about/news-p...

I thought this stuff only happened in high school.

I hold a graduate degree from NYU. I've made sure they don't know my married name or my address. And while I'm a loyal alum to my undergrad college, I've never even considered making a contribution of any kind to NYU.

There was a time when this country was expected to speak out against abuses of human rights. Today, we ignore and abuse them.

If I were John Beckman, I would resign in protest. You're a bad person if you're complicit in this.

Can we finally talk about how to reel in the Israel lobby? This lobby has done so much damage to this country

He absolutely should sue them.

Two problems:

He's endorsing the terrorists, because he's young and dumb

He broke the rules established in advance by a private organization.

I checked the law. In NY, he is likely to lose.

Oh yeah. Get back every penny he/his parents paid to those lily-livered, spineless enablers of autocracy.

Not particularly encouraging when the bastions of coastal elite liberalism use the fascistic desires of the Trump administration as political cover to placate their big money donors.

If I could find my pointless NYU diploma, I would happily tear it up and send it back to them
