NEW YORK - Columbia University said Monday they are canceling their main commencement ceremony plan after weeks of protests and turmoil on campus. Instead of one single commencement ceremony, the various schools involved will hold smaller, individual ceremonies. They will take place away from the South Lawn, where the larger commencement ceremony had originally been scheduled to take place on May 15, and where students had been encamped until police cleared them out.
