The Harvard Corporation vetoed a decision by the Faculty of Arts and Sciences to permit 13 seniors facing discipline for participating in an anti-Israel encampment to graduate.
The governing board of Harvard University on Wednesday rejected an effort by faculty to confer degrees on protesters sanctioned because they participated in an anti-Israel encampment on campus.
The vote created conflict between faculty members, who claimed they had authority under the university's governing statutes to overrule disciplinary actions from the Ad Board, and the Corporation, which appeared to believe they did not. 'Today, we have voted to confer 1,539 degrees to Harvard College students in good standing,' the Corporation wrote in a statement on Wednesday.
We will consider conferral of degrees promptly if, following the completion of all FAS processes, a student becomes eligible to receive a degree.' Harvard's commencement will take place later Thursday.
