Harvard board bars 13 pro-Palestine student protesters from graduating, overruling faculty

Thanks for the 4 years tuition though!

I could see them barring them from walking for their degree, but to hold it completely is messed up. Bullshit that ‘the corporation’ overruled the faculty vote.

This is what happens at Harvard when you try to do good. Look at their alumni. Filled with IRL super villains.

Fucking pathetic

Look, the most important voices are the non-scholastic billionaire donors. Why would you care about the opinions of those engaged in pedagogy? This is a business, not a school!

Vile. I hope those students sue those bigoted, genocidal pigs into the dirt.

If a dropout from Harvard starts a company doing literally anything then I would like to invest, please.

Outrageous.

McCarthyism is well alive.

I can just see an alumni from another institution waiving their fees just to go after Harvard for this "decision".

Fascist pigs.

My read on the article was that this was the corporation tipping their hand on how that process was going to play out, but I could certainly be wrong. read to me like the faculty voted for them to graduate, but this was the board vetoing that and affirming that they were still to be dealt with, and that the consequences were going to be grim. Hopefully that’s not the case.

That is Islamaphobic.

Inhumane.

So they aren't being given their first amendment rights... Oh boy I can't wait to see how this plays out at other companies.

Good ol' United States of Israel. Once the Global South becomes the new world order, the global power, chit is gon' get really real.

I wonder when Americans, or better yet, the citizens of the world will ever realize that.. the only form of protest that works is BDS.

Money is their god. Disrupt their money and they will listen.

Harvard must not be what it used to be, a little strategy would have told them to keep up their efforts but lay low until they get the degree. Don't worry, this conflict will be around long enough for your kids to act like maniacs with you. Sticks and stones may break my bones but idgaf about your down votes!

It is pretty common to kick or suspend students who disobey oder misbehave in a University. Occupying University property is a dumb move.

I suggest they publicly excuse and next time act smarter, e.g. not trespassing private property during protest.

With a bit of honesty and luck they can graduate next year.

Call that a valuable lesson in Civil Law.
