“... I am deeply disturbed by New York University’s decision to withhold the diploma of Gallatin valedictorian Logan Rozos following his brief but courageous acknowledgment of the ongoing atrocities in Palestine during his commencement address.

“There are moments in history when institutions are tested—not for their administrative efficiency or procedural compliance—but for their moral clarity. This was one such moment, and NYU failed.
