Over 400 Stanford Students Walkout Commencement for Palestine

Over 400 Stanford students walk out of commencement alongside their families to demand divestment and pledge that there will be no donations made to the University until then. As President Saller spoke about the “challenging year” administration felt they had to face, Stanford students reminded him of the challenges he and the rest of the administrative body put us through. Administration covertly shut down a 120-day long sit in, arrested 18 students for speaking up at his Family Weekend Q&A , refused to meet with Palestinian students after promising to, and arrested 13 students demanding divestment just 2 weeks ago.
