During a graduation ceremony at the University of Michigan, pro-Palestinian protesters briefly disrupted the event by unfurling flags and banners while chanting slogans critical of university funding in relation to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Police intervened to prevent the protesters from approaching the stage.
The protest did not significantly impact the ceremony, which proceeded as planned. University officials acknowledged the long-standing tradition of peaceful protests at such events.
Security measures were heightened before the ceremony to manage potential disruptions, including the screening and removal of certain banners and flags.
Similar protests have occurred at universities nationwide amid ongoing tensions surrounding the conflict in Gaza.
