Concerns Mount for Columbia University Graduation as USC Cancels Commencement

Challenges⁤ Faced by Graduating ‍Students ⁣Amid Campus Protests

Amid safety concerns and student protests, the University of Southern California in Los Angeles made the decision to cancel its main commencement ceremony. This move was prompted by the cancellation of the valedictorian speech of Muslim student Asna Tabassum due to security threats, leading to protests on college campuses and numerous arrests.

Schools nationwide are now grappling with the dilemma of whether to adjust or cancel their ceremonies in light of escalating protests. The fear of disruptions looms large, reminiscent of the domino effect triggered by the initial encampment set up by students at Columbia University in New York.

Protests and Commencement Ceremonies

From the University of Michigan to Cornell University, students have erected tents in protest against the Israel-Hamas war and to advocate for divestment from companies doing business with Israel. This activism adds another layer of complexity for graduating college students who have already faced disruptions due to the pandemic.

Bank of Greece: “Brake” on allowances and passes to prevent the economy from derailing with the new Stability Pact
– 2024-04-27 04:05:09

The Bank of Greece stands by the careful and targeted granting of extraordinary allowances from now on, as it is pointed out that despite the good performance of the Greek economy, the gap with the Eurozone average remains large.

A careful reading of the report of the governor of the Bank of Greece for 2023, published on April 8, shows that Giannis Stournaras warns that, despite the positive results recorded by the Greek economy recently, the situation remains particularly fragile and extreme caution is required manipulations for the future, especially with the implementation of the new Stability Pact in the Eurozone. In the recent report, which was presented by the governor of the Bank of Greece, Giannis Stournaras, both the performance and the events of 2023 are recorded, as well as the estimates for 2024 and especially the “hot” points that require special attention – indicatively, how to any extraordinary benefit that will need to be paid, its financing should be ensured in advance by imposing an equivalent measure.

It is recalled that Greece is by far the Eurozone country with the highest debt, followed by Italy.

The vocabulary used in the latest report of the governor of the Bank of Greece is reminiscent of phraseology with words carefully chosen one by one, as if it comes from a text drawn up after drafting between experienced diplomats who have no room for verbiage nor can allow interpretations that with their recommendations they want to intervene or indicate to those with p
