Harvard Prevents Twelve Anti-Israel Protesters from Graduating at Commencement

Harvard University is suspending five students and placing over 20 of them on probation for participating in an anti-Israel encampment.

The Harvard College Administrative Board will be preventing twelve seniors from graduating at commencement and at least one senior will be required to withdraw for three semesters, the Harvard Crimson reported. Two of the twelve seniors were among the five suspended students who were forced to withdraw from Harvard College, the university’s undergraduate liberal arts school.

“Harvard is not allowing me to graduate this semester for my participation in the encampment,” Rhodes Scholar-elect Suhaas Bhat said at the Harvard class of 2024 talent show. He told the Harvard Crimson the “complete Ad Board voted to place me on academic probation, and thus prevent me from graduating.”
