NYU President Condemns Pro-BDS Graduation Speaker after Seen Applauding Him
(Jewish News Syndicate) "We are sorry that the audience had to experience these inappropriate remarks," said New York University president Andrew Hamilton. "A graduation should be a shared, inclusive event; the speaker's words - one-sided and tendentious - indefensibly made some in the audience feel unwelcome and excluded." Guest speaker Steven Thrasher had declared, "I am so proud, so proud, of NYU's chapters of Students for Justice in Palestine and Jewish Voices for Peace for supporting the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions movement against the apartheid state government in Israel."
