The University of Southern California has cancelled its main commencement ceremony scheduled for 10 May. | |
"With the new safety measures in place this year, the time needed to process the large number of guests coming to campus will increase substantially," the university said in a statement. | |
"As a result, we will not be able to host the main stage ceremony that traditionally brings 65,000 students, families, and friends to our campus." | |
The decision comes after police made multiple arrests after confronting protesters there on Wednesday and ordering the dismantling of a campus encampment. | |
It is also after USC said earlier this month that Muslim student Asna Tabassum would no longer be permitted to deliver a speech as valedictorian due to unspecified security threats. | |
