    They’re denying the degrees ENTIRELY or simply not granting them at commencement?

    Because after 4 years and who knows how many thousands of dollars, there’s likely a contractual obligation to supply the degree.

        Thursday

        They will still get the degree

        Edit: CBS, ABC and the rest of mainstream media have turned into clickbait

        Edit2: the article has been updated, the Harvard corporate board over ruled faculty. Students will not receive degrees at this time because demanding BDS

          I just read the last part of the Harvard statement included in the CBS article:

          We will consider conferral of degrees promptly if, following the completion of all FAS processes, a student becomes eligible to receive a degree.

          It sounds like they’re not getting degrees. Am I missing something here?
