Harvard seniors who participated in the 20-day protest encampment have passed one of three major hurdles that would allow them to graduate on-time this week.
At its regular meeting to discuss which students should obtain degrees this year, members of Harvard'srecommended that 13 students disciplined over protesting against the war in Gaza be allowed to receive their degrees.
Kirsten Weld, a Harvard history professor and member of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences body, described Monday's vote as a"repudiation" of the Administrative Board's actions. She also argued that Harvard statute gives the faculty group the ultimate authority to confer degrees to students. Ryan Enos, a political scientist and government professor, said the question as to whether these seniors could get their degrees on time drew more faculty than usual.
