Brown University's commencement ceremony on Sunday was briefly interrupted by hundreds of alumni and anti-Israel protesters calling for the university to divest from activities they associate with genocide in Palestine. The protesters disrupted President Paxson's speech, chanting slogans such as 'No rest till Brown divests.' Pro-Israel protesters also demonstrated nearby, waving Israeli and U.S. flags.
