    • Abstract:
      Columbia University has decided to cancel its main commencement event due to recent turmoil on campus. The university stated that smaller-scale, school-based celebrations are more meaningful to students and their families, and they will focus on ensuring the safety, respect, and smooth running of these ceremonies. The protests against the Israel-Hamas war have caused unrest on campus, leading to a police raid and restricted access to the area. The university is considering the possibility of a festive event on May 15 to replace the large, formal ceremony. [Extracted from the article]
