The University of California has cancelled its commencement celebrations amid protests over Gaza that continue to develop on college campuses across the United States.

The university said that they will not be hosting a main stage ceremony this year due to “new safety measures” substantially increasing the time it will take to process large numbers of guests at the campus.
