Quick Glance: USC Cancels Outside Speaker Appearances at 2024 Commencement After Dismissing Muslim Valedictorian's Speech
- The University of Southern California announced it's canceling appearances by prominent speakers and honorees at its graduation ceremony next month, days after the institution canceled the commencement speech of its Muslim valedictorian Asna Tabassum due to security concerns.
- USC stated that the decision to exclude outside speakers from its 2024 commencement on May 10 is to keep the focus on the graduates. The university had planned to confer honorary degrees on filmmaker Jon M. Chu, alumna Maria Rosario Jackson, tennis legend Billie Jean King, and geophysicist Marcia McNutt.
- The move to cancel the speakers' attendance came shortly after the university denied Tabassum the opportunity to deliver her commencement speech. This decision was met with protests on campus, with many demonstrators advocating for Tabassum's speech to be reinstated.
- Tabassum, a first-generation South Asian American Muslim studying biomedical engineering, defended her decision to share a link criticizing Zionism and advocating for the abolition of Israel, citing her commitment to human rights and academic discourse.
