Scores of Boston University students turned their backs on the CEO of Warner Bros. Discovery and chanted "pay your writers" during his speech at the school's graduation.
About 100 protesters chanted "No wages, no pages," waved signs and were accompanied by an inflatable rat outside Nickerson Field as David Zaslav, president and CEO of Warner Bros. Discovery, gave his address inside the stadium. Thousands of graduating students, family members and educators attending the graduation ceremony had to walk by the protesters to enter the stadium.
Zaslav, a graduate of the university's law school in the mid-1980s, was a contentious pick, with many alumni taking to social media with their objections.
