Logan Rozos, an NYU student, was denied his diploma after delivering a graduation speech criticizing Israel's actions against Palestinians and U.S. complicity in these events. His remarks, which sparked strong backlash from pro-Israel groups, prompted NYU to pursue disciplinary actions against him. NYU spokesperson John Beckman stated Rozos misused his platform to express his political views and violated university rules. The speech received both support from graduates and criticism over creating an unsafe atmosphere for Jewish students, reflecting ongoing tensions surrounding pro-Palestinian discourse in academic settings.
The genocide currently occurring is supported politically and militarily by the United States, is paid for by our tax dollars and has been livestreamed to our phones for the past 18 months.
He lied about the speech he was going to deliver and violated the commitment he made to comply with our rules.
NYU spokesperson John Beckman apologized for the speech and accused the student of misusing his platform to express his personal and one-sided political views.
No student - especially Jewish students - should have to sit through politicized rhetoric that promotes division.
