New York University is withholding the diploma of Logan Rozos, a graduating student who condemned Israeli actions in Gaza during a commencement speech. Rozos described the situation as 'genocide', claiming it had U.S. political and military backing funded by tax dollars. His comments received mixed reactions from the audience. In response, NYU strongly criticized Rozos for violating speech guidelines and stated it was pursuing disciplinary actions, expressing regret that the graduation moment was overshadowed by his remarks.
"The university is withholding his diploma while we pursue disciplinary actions. NYU is deeply sorry that the audience was subjected to these remarks."
"Rozos referred to Israel's actions in Gaza as 'genocide,' which he said was 'politically and militarily' supported by the U.S. and 'paid for by our tax dollars.'"
