TL;DR

Hundreds of Harvard students walked out of their graduation ceremony in solidarity with Palestine and 13 students barred from the event due to protest encampments. The walkout, which included chants and flag displays, highlighted issues of civil rights and freedom of speech on campus. Despite a faculty decision to reinstate the barred students, Harvard's governing board upheld their ineligibility to graduate due to policy violations. The protest reflects broader campus unrest following recent violence in Gaza.
