Commencement ceremonies took place at various colleges and universities in the US over the weekend amidst ongoing protests on campus. The protests primarily revolve around demands for schools to divest from entities allegedly supporting or benefiting from Israel's actions in Gaza.
At the University of Southern California (USC), a pro-Palestinian protest encampment was cleared by police without any arrests made. This marked the second dismantling of an encampment at the Los Angeles university. USC's President Carol Folt stated that the protesters had violated the law, emphasizing a zero-tolerance policy towards encampments on campus.
