Case Western Reserve University students banned from crossing the stage at the university’s official commencement walked at their own graduation ceremony at Wade Lagoon Sunday.
According to a Case spokesperson, the university initiated its “student conduct process” for students involved in the pro-Palestine encampments on school property.
The process includes temporary withholding of degrees and bans from university property after several warnings from the university’s president.Former Ohio state senator Nina Turner spoke at the event. “You are learning one of the most important lessons,” said Turner. “That when you go against the grain there will be power that will bump up against you.”
The event was met with a small group of counter-protesters for Israel who blasted loud speakers in an attempt to drown out the ceremony.19 News reached out to the university asking if diplomas are still being withheld and if they had a comment on Sunday’s ceremony.
