BU President Criticizes Graduates For Jeering Discovery CEO

Outgoing BU president Robert A. Brown condemned demonstrators for shouting down Warner Bros. Discovery head David Zaslav during his commencement speech.
Brown called the students' conduct "coarse and deliberately abusive" and apologized to Zaslav for their behavior which Brown said was an attempt to implement "cancel culture."
Zaslav's speech was interrupted by shouts of "pay your writers" in support of striking Hollywood writers.
The WGA thanked the protesting students for their support during Zaslav's commencement address.
Around 350 demonstrators picketed outside in support of the WGA and other labor unions during the commencement ceremony.
