TL;DR

Over 1,000 people walked out of Harvard's 373rd Commencement ceremony to protest the university's decision to deny degrees to 13 seniors involved in a pro-Palestine encampment. The protest, which included chants and Palestinian flags, continued throughout the ceremony, with some students and faculty holding a separate "People's Commencement" to honor the barred students. Despite the disruptions, the official ceremony proceeded as planned, with speeches from various dignitaries and the conferral of degrees to the remaining graduates.
