"The celebrations at smaller graduation ceremonies on Tuesday were also punctuated by anger directed at Columbia administrators. At the graduation for Columbia College, the university’s main undergraduate school, some students repeatedly interrupted Ms. Shipman’s remarks with loud jeers. At one point, they chanted “Free Mahmoud.”"

They should have also thrown tomatoes.
Rotten ones, like the corrupted leadership of Columbia U.

Why go to commencement?
They'll still give you the degree. The ceremony is about prestige. They have none.
- Colleges are withholding diplomas for people who disagree with them/ wrong think.
  NYU withholds diploma of graduate who condemned Gaza war
  
  Slam dunk lawsuit. They have a transcript. Signed by NYU. Case closed.
- To let those corrupt leaders know that we know, and will work to get them exactly what traitors deserve.
  
  You do that by boycotting the ceremony and publicly humiliating them and their attempt at keeping their prestige.
  You help them by dressing up and doing their dance.
- Just to boo that asshole. Its worth it

They must all be antisemitic terrorist supporting national security risks and should be deported.

Just get the Eurovision producers to come in and touch up the audio a bit...

Commencement, at the end?
