Speech Stirred Controversy

Logan Rozos, during his graduation ceremony, voiced strong condemnation of the ‘atrocities currently happening in Palestine’. This statement triggered a mixed reaction, with some applauding and giving standing ovations, while others booed.

An NYU spokesperson accused Rozos of misrepresenting his speech’s content to push ‘personal and one-sided political views’. The university administration has strongly denounced Rozos’ remarks, with a spokesperson stating, ‘This moment was stolen by someone who abused a privilege that was conferred upon him,’ and confirmed that Rozos’ diploma is being withheld pending disciplinary action.

Remarks On Gaza Addressed
