Adams Vows Peaceful NYC Graduations as Colleges Face DisruptionsAbout 75 protesters waved Palestinian flags and chanted anti-war messages at the University of Michigan’s commencement on Saturday while at Indiana University, some students walked out of the graduation ceremony in protest of the conflict, according to the Associated Press. In New York, Mayor Eric Adams pledged to keep university graduation ceremonies in the city safe from violent protests over the war in Gaza, saying no one should be allowed to threaten them. “We will make sure it’s done in a peaceful manner,” Adams said Sunday on ABC’s This Week. Graduations are “a wonderful experience” and “I don’t think we should allow anything to get in our normal way of life,” he said. Meanwhile, the University of California Los Angeles on Sunday announced the appointment of a new associate vice chancellor for campus safety.
