USC Students Rally to Demand Commencement Speech by Valedictorian Asna Tabassum Be Reinstated

HeadlineApr 19, 2024

Katya Urban: “It feels really important, especially right now, for the Jewish voice at USC, the anti-Zionist Jewish voice at USC, to be very loud and very present. So we’re here just to support Asna and to support free speech and to hold USC accountable.”
