The University of Southern California's president called recent controversies roiling the campus over the Israel-Hamas war “incredibly difficult for all of us.” In her first public statement in nearly two weeks, President Carol Folt condemned this week's protests — where 90 demonstrators were arrested by police in riot gear — while imploring the campus community to find common ground and ways to support each other.
This week, the student protests ignited at Columbia University inspired similar protests on the Los Angeles campus, with students calling on the university to divest from companies that do business with Israel or support its ongoing military action in Gaza. Ninety demonstrators were taken into custody Wednesday night. Less than a day later, the university announced it would cancel the May 10 main graduation event -- a ceremony that typically draws 65,000 people to the Los Angeles campus.
