Hundreds of students streamed out of commencement ceremonies at California's Stanford University on Sunday as part of the spring wave of pro-Palestinian protests on American college campuses. The students stood and exited at the beginning of a speech by outgoing university president Richard Saller, who read: “Don’t let your convictions shut out your ability to listen and learn.
A group called Stanford Against Apartheid in Palestine organized an 'alternative graduation' set to take place after the official commencement, according to a post on its Instagram page. The event just off-campus, in Menlo Park, was organized to support fellow students it said were prohibited from Sunday's campus ceremonies after they were arrested at previous pro-Palestinian protests.
