Columbia University’s acting president Claire Shipman was booed and met with chants of “Free Mahmoud” during a graduation ceremony Tuesday.⁣ ⁣ The chants referred to Mahmoud Khalil, a Columbia grad student detained by U.S. immigration officials in March. The university has faced backlash over student protests against the war in Gaza amid Trump's crackdown. ⁣ ⁣ Columbia University has also complied to a series of changes demanded by the Trump administration as a pre-condition for restoring $400m in federal funding.⁣ ⁣ #columbia #students #politics #graduation #columbiauniversity #claireshipan #mahmoudkhalil #protest
