Statement from MIT Class of 2025 President Megha Vemuri shared with Drop Site: “I am not disappointed that I did not get to walk the stage with my classmates yesterday. For two entire graduation seasons, over two years now, thousands of bright Gazan students should have been able to walk across a stage and receive their diplomas. These students did not get to walk because Israel murdered them, displaced them from their homes, and destroyed their schools. I see no need for me to walk across the stage of an institution that is complicit in this genocide. I am, however, disappointed that MIT’s officials massively overstepped their roles to punish me without merit or due process, with no indication of any specific policy broken. These repressive measures are proof that the university is guilty of aiding and abetting genocide and is scrambling to quell dissent while hypocritically claiming to protect free speech. They want to distract from what is happening in Palestine and their role in it, and instead shift focus to punishing students of conscience. MIT and all complicit institutions must know that they will have no peace until they cut ties with the Israeli Military.”
