Harvard Excludes Jews from Identity-Based Graduations Amid Anti-Semitism Controversy

University's President Apologizes for Comments on Genocide of Jews, as Questions Arise Over Deletion of Webpage Detailing 'Affinity Celebrations'

Harvard University reportedly hosted identity-based graduation celebrations in 2023, but Jewish students were not included in these celebrations.
The webpage detailing these 'Affinity Celebrations for Graduates' has since been deleted, but it previously listed events for various groups including Black, Latinx, LGBTQ+, Arab, and Indigenous graduates.
Harvard President Claudine Gay recently gave testimony before Congress, where she gave a non-answer to a question about whether calls for the genocide of Jews would be protected under the institution's policies on bullying and harassment.
President Gay later apologized for her comments during an interview with the Harvard Crimson, stating that calls for violence against the Jewish community have no place at Harvard.
It is unclear when the webpage was deleted, and whether this action was in response to the controversy surrounding the university's handling of anti-Semitism.
