This is, once again, because the schools are afraid of the larger scale riots that will, break out…freedom in exercise in the U.S., call this, a chain reaction if you will, off of the Front Page Sections, translated…
The multiple student-led protests for the Palestinian cause already disrupted all activities, the courses across the university campuses in the U.S., of the most severe, in Columbia University, the school cancelled the original large scale graduation ceremony for all the college departments on the fifteenth; another university, Emory, that was also greatly impacted by the protests, also announced on the same day, that the graduation will be transferred from the Atlanta campus to the suburbs.
The United Press reported, that the officials of Columbia University stated that this is the decisions agreed upon after discussing with the students, the originally scheduled graduation ceremony on the southside law of the main campus, will be held at the northern campus, or the various colleges will be holding their own smaller scale graduations individually. There were, the protesting centers taking over the southern lawn of the main campus past few weeks, the students set up the tents, and the tents were finally taken down by police orders last week; during this time, there were, more than two hundred students who protested on the lawn, and got arrested for occupying the school buildings.

The president of Emory, Fenves in a letter, stated, that the graduation commencement scheduled for the 13th is now, moved to the Duluth Conference Center on the northeastern side of the Atlanta campus, Fenves stated that "this is a decision we'd made after careful thought, please do understand. This decision is arrived at after thorough discussion with the Emory Police Department, security consultants, and other organizations, and every one of these organizations advised against holding the commencement ceremony in the university campus."
U.S.C. had already cancelled the main graduation commencement, the students were surrounded by the police, and after they'd received threats of arrests, they'd stopped camping out on the campus. Other universities had, upped the security measures, continued with the plans of the commencements, but the students are still, seeking out every chance to voice their, upset, for instance, in the graduation in Michigan University on the fourth, the ceremonies were interrupted by the chanting of "Free Palestine"; the Northeastern University graduation on the fifth, the students waved the small flags of Israel, or the Palestine flag.

Most of the universities are evaluating in the gray areas of freedom of speech and maintaining campus security, and tried using the means, hoping that the protesters will, take down the camps, or move into other, less concerned areas for their protests.
The interim president of Harvard, Garber warned the students, those who supported the students' campsites set up to protest for Palestine will be on "involuntary leave of absence", meant that they will be banned from entering into the university, and lose their dormitory qualifications, banned from the finals too. On the fifth, the School of the Art Institute of Chicago on the fifth, posted on FB, promising, that if the protesters change the location of their protests, the school will "not deduct the points off of their final G.P.A., and drop the breaking and entering charges against the students."
And so, this is, how it'd worked, the ripple effects of these, peace protests across the universities of the U.S., the larger commencements are all now, cancelled, for "safety purposes", and, this is expected, with the upset of how U.S. is on the wrong side of what's morally responsible, naturally these students stood UP, and yet, their actions will only have a small to nonexistent effect on the U.S. government's actions in its role in the Israeli-Hamas war.
