U of Chicago students walk out of graduation after diplomas withheld for anti-Israel camp
[IsraelTimes] Shouts, boos, calls to ‘Stop Genocide’ briefly disrupt rainy two-hour outdoor ceremony; dozens of students walk out between speeches; demonstration follows official ceremony

Dozens of anti-Israel student protesters walked out of the University of reliably Democrat Chicago, aka The Windy City or Mobtown
...home of Al Capone, the Chicago Black Sox, a succession of Daleys, Barak Obama, and Rahm Emmanuel...
’s commencement Saturday as the school withheld the diplomas of four seniors over their involvement with a pro-Paleostinian encampment. The disruption to the rainy two-hour outdoor ceremony was brief, with shouts, boos and calls to "Stop Genocide." A crowd of students walked out between speeches, and a demonstration followed the official ceremony. Some chanted as they held Paleostinian flags, while others donned, keffiyeh scarves, a Paleostinian symbol often used in pro-Paleostinian and anti-Israel protests, over their robes.

Four graduating seniors, including Youssef Haweh, were informed by email in recent days that their degrees would be withheld pending a disciplinary process related to complaints about the encampment, according to student group UChicago United for Paleostine.

"My diploma doesn’t matter when there are people in Paleostine and in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
that will never walk a stage again, who will never receive a diploma. What about them? Who’s going to fight for them?" Haweh said in a Saturday statement.
Fair enough. You go on to your chosen profession as a paid political agitator with a side order of mostly peaceful Black Bloc/Antifa violence, for which no education is necessary, merely bloody-minded viciousness and the ability to shout slogans while beating up whichever target you’re pointed at.
University officials acknowledged the walkout, saying the school is "committed to upholding the rights of students to express a wide range of views," according to a statement.

Students have walked out of commencements at Harvard University, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and others as protest camps have sprung up across the US and in Europa
...the land mass occupying the space between the English Channel and the Urals, also known as Moslem Lebensraum...
in recent weeks. Students have demanded their universities stop doing business with Israel or companies they say support its war in Gaza.

A small demonstration after the commencement, where protesters tried to access a closed street, resulted in the arrest of one person not affiliated with the school, university officials said in a statement.

The University of Chicago encampment was cleared on May 7. Administrators had initially adopted a permissive approach, but later said the protest had crossed a line and caused growing concerns about safety. One group temporarily took over a building on the school’s campus.

University officials have said the demonstrations prompted formal complaints including for "disruptive conduct," and would require further review. The students were still able to participate in graduation, and can receive their degrees if they are later cleared after the university inquiry into alleged violations of campus policy. The university didn’t have comment Saturday about the diplomas.

Thousands of students and faculty members have signed a petition calling for the university to grant the degrees, while more than a dozen Chicago City Council members have penned a letter asking for the same.
”Why are you being so mean? Students have been rioting through the streets about whatever catches their whim since universities first formed in Paris in the Middle Ages. How dare you ruin the lives of our precious darlings by punishing them!”

#1 While reading this don't forget the O'Biden Regime, using our TAXPAYER $$$$$$,
pay off their educational loans & stay.

Thus, as US Taxpayers, we have unwillingly semi-funded their physically violent protest and related property damages also.

Because their physically violent damaging actions violated even the relax liberal University Of Chicago's College Student Protesting rules and they were held semi-responsible for violating University Statute 21.

BTW: The fact that any University has such a detail Student Protest, and Proper Protest Etiquette Guideline Manual in itself is strange.

Added Thought: looking at the UoC Tuition fees at the yearly flat rate (US$) each of those students just tossed about $80++K of your TAX $$$$'s to the wind.
