Several universities across the United States are taking disciplinary actions against students involved in pro-Palestinian protests. The New College of Florida plans to withhold diplomas from students who disrupted the commencement ceremony with pro-Palestinian chants. Similarly, UCLA threatens to discipline and withhold degrees from students accused of disorderly behavior during protests. At MIT, dozens of students walked out of a graduation ceremony, leading to a pro-Palestine rally that shut down Mass. Ave. This comes weeks after their encampments were broken down by police. The University of California faces a strike by 16,000 academic workers at UC San Diego, UC Santa Barbara, and UC Irvine, joining 15,000 workers already on strike at UCLA, UC Santa Cruz, and UC Davis over disciplinary measures against pro-Palestinian protesters, where police arrested hundreds of students. The University of Chicago is also blocking seniors from graduating due to their participation in protests, though specific acts prompting the decision have not been disclosed.
