Quick Glance: USC Main Commencement Canceled Amid Gaza War Protests

Protests against the Israel-Hamas war prompt the cancellation of USC's main graduation ceremony and numerous arrests at campuses nationwide.

Universities are grappling with protests that could disrupt upcoming commencement ceremonies and are considering changes to regulations regarding encampments and exams.

Some students demand schools sever ties with Israel, leading to accusations of antisemitism and concerns about safety on campus.

The wave of protests, inspired by events at Columbia University, has led to civil rights investigations into universities facing protests and complaints of discrimination amidst the Israel-Hamas conflict.

Joe Biden signs the bill that could ban TikTok in the United States: The bill that will force a sale or ban of TikTok in the United States is now law.

Quick Glance: ByteDance Would Consider Closing TikTok in US Over Sale, Sources Claim

ByteDance would prefer to cease TikTok operations rather than engage in a sale if all legal avenues are exhausted to combat potential legislation banning the platform in US app stores, as per four sources.

Despite TikTok's massive popularity with over a billion users, it remains unprofitable, contributing a small fraction to ByteDance's overall revenues and daily active user base.

ByteDance stated on Thursday in a release on Toutiao, a media platform it possesses, that there are no intentions to sell TikTok, in response to claims from The Information about ByteDance exploring sale scenarios for TikTok's US operations excluding the recommending algorithm for user videos.

As of December, ByteDance's valuation stood at $268 billion when it proposed a buyback of approximately $5 billion in shares from investors.

President Biden announces the signing of a substantial $95 billion military assistance package for Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan, with a significant portion of the funds directed towards Ukraine.

Quick Glance: Contentious Press Conference: Johnson and GOP Lawmakers Heckled at Columbia

A press conference at Columbia University was marked by loud heckling against Republican Speaker Mike Johnson and other GOP lawmakers who condemned antisemitism and pro-Palestine demonstrations on the campus.

The GOP lawmakers faced boos from protesters and struggled to be heard as they criticized the treatment of Jewish students on the campus and directly addressed the student demonstrators.

Johnson and his GOP colleagues called for the resignation of Columbia University President Minouche Shafik, resulting in loud boos from the audience.

After an Orthodox rabbi advised Jewish students to return home, the university announced a shift to hybrid learning for the remainder of the semester until the situation on and around campus significantly improved.
