The university's commencement ceremony is scheduled to occur in Alumni Park on May 10.
Last week, USC canceled the valedictorian's speech out of safety concerns considering her pro-Palestinian views, sparking backlash. The student, Asna Tabassum, is a first-generation South Asian-American Muslim who majored in biomedical engineering and minored in resistance to genocide, according to a statement published through the Greater Los Angeles Area office of the Council on American-Islamic Relations.
Pro-Palestinian demonstrators surrounded a USC campus police vehicle during a chaotic protest at the university's Alumni Park. Dozens of students and others have issued a list of demands, including the university's divestment, similar to demands from students on other campuses, according to sister station KABC.
