USC announced today it will not hold the main graduation ceremony, which brings as many as 65,000 students, families and friends to campus.
“We understand that this is disappointing; however, we are adding many new activities and celebrations to make this commencement academically meaningful, memorable, and uniquely USC, including places to gather with family, friends, faculty, and staff, the celebratory releasing of the doves, and performances by the Trojan Marching Band.”
REACTION: This is outrageous for the seniors who looked forward to the traditional graduation ceremony and will definitely be part of Carol Folt’s legacy at USC.
And if you wonder why USC did it, I’ll give you a big reason: Folt would be booed when she stepped to the podium.
The administration has completely botched this whole situation. If USC had not banned the valedictorian from speaking, what would happen? Some small pockets of protestors? Little to no media coverage of it all.
Instead, USC created a national controversy and now is robbing the seniors — who paid hundreds of thousnds in tuition and fees — of a highlight of their college career.
This is a complete own goal by USC.
Graduation is not the “highlight of a college career,” my seatmate John Kruso fell asleep next to me. A better “highlight” was OJ’s 64-yarder to sink Yucla

blame conservatives who boast about protecting the US from radicalism but when push comes to shove, they cower because some brainwashed kid or college professor will call them a name. Leftists are clear on their objectives, but righty’s are the ultimate clowns that do zero to save this free country. Yes, leftists nazis will bus in soros soldiers but let it happen. Perhaps these college kids will witness it and reconsider the hate they’ve been taught for four years.

I always thought Stump had more to worry about with the Stormy Trial than the others. He was not president with the Stormy payouts so he cannot assert ‘presidential immunity’ even if he “wins” the Supreme Court presidential immunity case

This sounds like the word salad that went out when Folt decided that the local alumni groups couldn’t be trusted and therefore had to be abolished.

I don’t care for Folt, but this move is directly on the shoulders of the ignorant doofs who want to support Hamas. Folt’s first responsibility is the safety of all students, and this assures no one will get hurt during graduation. I support the cancellation, and I hope other campuses follow along.

There’s absolutely NOTHING cool about crazy non students invading our campus and disrupting the student life. I don’t care what you have to say politically, but it’s not right to create a spectacle of asinine behavior.

Agree Marv. This was not a student lead demonstration. There is an organized network of professional leftist demonstrators who quickly converge on an area and bring chaos and destruction. They are not students and have no real interest in the Israeli retaliation against Hamas. The target is the United States. Think Antifa.

Folt lost control of the political/social situation at USC. She’s not afraid of being booed, USC is rightfully concerned about outside forces converging on USC as they did on Wednesday. But it all could’ve largely been prevented if not for Folt and USC embracing the radical Left and their Cultural Marxism tactics.

Clowns. This blog is run by a clown. USC is run by clowns. Anyone who cares about USC should call the university and demand they stop capitulating to terrorists and insist on the Govenor to offer assistance in the form of the National Guard and the CHP. There is a right way to protest and a wrong way to protest. Carol Folt and the University Regents need to reestablish order and demand respect for the rule of law.
