Campus protests collide with graduation season

College commencement season is off to a rough start.

After a weekend full of student protests, Columbia University, the face of the pro-Palestinian demonstrations, canceled its main graduation ceremony, becoming the second major school to do so this year.

Shira Goodman, regional director in Philadelphia for the Anti-Defamation League, said colleges' weak responses to the disruptions and the move to cancel some commencements will only "embolden further violations” of school policies.
