Harvard University's governing board has rejected a faculty decision to allow 13 students involved in pro-Palestine protests to graduate, highlighting tensions between the faculty and administration following mass protests. The students were sanctioned for their participation in the protests, and despite a faculty vote in favor of their graduation, the board's veto bars them from receiving their degrees. The students may still be awarded degrees pending the outcome of their disciplinary cases. The situation reflects wider unrest on college campuses over the Israel-Hamas conflict, with similar protests leading to arrests and disciplinary actions nationwide.
