Protests Disrupt Brown University Commencement Address

Greek university students protest ahead of a vote for foreign private universities in Athens

Protesters briefly disrupted an outdoor commencement address given by Brown University's president on Sunday. Shortly after the speech began, shouting interrupted the event as the graduates were being addressed. The disruption lasted for several minutes before the speech resumed, with some individuals continuing to voice their dissent.

A group known as Brown Alumni for Palestine claimed responsibility for the disruption, stating that they represent over 2,000 alumni who have vowed to withhold donations from the university until the corporation divests from companies involved in the Gaza conflict.
