Harvard students stage walkout at graduation ceremony

Hundreds of graduating students at Harvard University staged a walkout during commencement after the school said it would not allow 13 students who took part in Gaza campus protests to graduate.

Weeks earlier, pro-Palestine demonstrators had erected an encampment at the school, similar to other nationwide campus protests that began at Columbia University in April.

Protesters are calling for universities to boycott companies and individuals with ties to Israel amid the ongoing war there.
