The University of Southern California (USC) has faced significant campus unrest leading to the cancellation of its main commencement ceremony, originally scheduled as part of a four-day celebration. This decision followed the arrest of 93 protesters who attempted to occupy Alumni Park, and was further complicated by the cancellation of an anti-Israel speech and a Muslim student's valedictory address. In response to these events, the USC Academic Senate voted to censure President Carol Folt and Provost Andrew Guzman. The censure was supported by a 21-7 vote, citing widespread dissatisfaction with the handling of the protests and the impact on commencement events.
