Several organizations on and off campus raised concerns about a fourth year student and her online connection to anti-Semitic rhetoric.
The decision was made after several organizations on and off campus raised concerns about Asna Tabassum and her online connection to anti-Semitic rhetoric. Shortly after USC announced Tabassum, a fourth year student from Chino Hills with a major in biomedical engineering and a minor in resistance to genocide, was selected as the 2024 valedictorian, there were calls for the university to reconsider their decision. Several organizations asked for USC to remove her as Valedictorian because of a link on her social media account that they said contains anti-Semitic language.
Tabassum, who is a first-generation South Asian American Muslim, told NBC Los Angeles that she was disappointed by the school’s decision to not have her speak at the graduation. She called this a"campaign of hate," meant to silence her voice.
