George Washington University student banned after pro-Palestinian graduation speech

7. GWU's response

We deeply regret that this moment of special celebration was violated for our students, their families, and other members of our community by this speaker, a former student who earned her degree in December of 2024. The speaker’s conduct during Saturday’s Columbian College of Arts and Sciences Celebration event was inappropriate and dishonest: the speaker submitted and recited in rehearsal very different remarks than those she delivered at the ceremony. The speaker has been barred from all GW’s campuses and sponsored events elsewhere.

“inappropriate and dishonest”: sounds like they’re confident the student was talking nonsense about the use of donations. I’m frankly tired of the excessive use of “genocide” especially when used to attack Biden and Harris; it desensitizes and lacks proportionality.
