If anyone interferes with President Joe Biden's commencement speech at Morehouse College on Sunday in Atlanta, all ceremonies will be canceled "on the spot," David A. Thomas, college president, told CNN Thursday. Thomas said the school will not allow "disruptive behavior that prevents the ceremony or services from proceeding in a manner that those in attendance can partake and enjoy." Commencement ceremonies at colleges and universities across the country have been interrupted or modified in recent weeks, prompting schools to move celebrations off campus over student-led protests in response to the Israel-Hamas war, according to USA TODAY. Ceremonies will be "ceased" if any disruptive behavior escalates, including any "prolonged shouting down" while the president speaks. Thomas said he also won't allow police to remove students from the ceremony in zip ties. "I will cease the ceremonies on the spot If we were to reach that position," he said. |
