One woman says she was pepper sprayed in the face when some pro-Palestinian demonstrators clashed with UChicago police on Saturday.
Along with the awarding of degrees and congratulations, there was a pro-Palestinian protest and allegations that demonstrators were pepper sprayed."It's hard for people to be celebrating, even though on what is a joyful day, when there's atrocities happening across the world," said Abei Shemsu, who attended the graduation.
"Graduation is supposed to be fun, without complaining about the war," said Claudia Mandujano, the mother of a graduating senior.
