everyone has the right to freedom of speech and education what has happened in Gaza was a genocide not a massacre and the a genocide happened again in Armenia 110 years ago 1.5 million Armenian people were killed and till this day the Turkish government and the president still deny the genocide ever happened this is a crime against humanity and race enough is enough
I'm an NYU Phd, 2007, current professor. I am appalled that my alma mater would persecute this man for speaking truth about the genocide occurring in Palestine, and speaking his conscience. NYU must stop doing this and give him his diploma, without any disciplinary action.
I am writing to express my deep concern and disappointment regarding the reported suspension of Logan Rozos from his diploma ceremony for speaking about Palestine.
Freedom of speech and the right to express solidarity with oppressed communities are core values that educational institutions should uphold and protect. Punishing a student for speaking out against injustice not only violates these principles but also sets a troubling precedent that discourages critical thought and civic engagement.
Logan’s actions reflect courage, empathy, and a willingness to use his platform to advocate for human rights—qualities that should be celebrated, not silenced. Graduation is a moment to honor students for their academic achievements and their development as thoughtful, compassionate individuals. Denying Logan this moment undermines those ideals.
I stand with Logan Rozos and all students who choose to use their voices for justice. I urge the school to reverse this disciplinary action, publicly affirm its commitment to free expression, and ensure that all students feel safe and supported when speaking out about issues that matter to them.
It's important we never lose our free speech in this country. It's also important to stand up for those oppressed or unheard when you have the privilege to do so. You cannot take away someone's education they worked hard for, because you disagree with their political ideals.
I was lucky enough to have a class with Logan and he is truly an example of NYU Gallatin’s values. He’s a student with a true love for learning, he’s willing to talk and try to understand others with genuine curiosity, and is brave in the face of guaranteed scrutiny. Having Logan, a student who concentrated in Culural Criticism no longer receive a diploma for doing so is extremely hypocritical on NYU’s end though i’m certain politics, enconomic benefits, and fear of this administration is driving this decision. It is sad that this is the America we’re living in now.
I say this as a Jew born when Israel was established as a state: Claiming that criticism of Israel is antisemitic is harmful to Jews all over the world, as it is false, and it ignores real hatred of Jews. Punishing those who speak out for Palestinians who have been oppressed and occupied, tormented and murdered, is killing democracy. Bowing to the pressure and threats of donors who claim antisemitism is morally reprehensible.
People should NEVER be punished for speaking up against human rights violations, regardless of who the perpetrator is. What Netanyahu and the rest of the Israeli government and military is doing is wrong. This is oppression, these are human rights violations, and this is even a GENOCIDE. And the fact that this man lost his opportunity to graduate for speaking his mind about a genuine problem is a violation of free speech.
As an NYU alum, I am embarrassed by the behavior of my alma mater, and urge the NYU administration to immediately reinstate the diploma that Logan Rozos earned. The University should celebrate his courage and willingness to speak truth to power, and to use his platform to try to enact meaningful change. I am proud to say I support Logan Rozos. NYU, do the right thing.
