Because the [13] students included as the result of Monday’s amendment are not in good standing, we cannot responsibly vote to award them degrees at this time. In coming to this determination, we note that the express provisions of the Harvard College Student Handbook state that students who are not in good standing are not eligible for degrees. We also considered the inequity of exempting a particular group of students who are not in good standing from established rules, while other seniors with similar status for matters unrelated to Monday’s faculty amendment would be unable to graduate.
Okay so, if this was your reason, why not have come forward about these than specifically targeting the group of people based on what side of an international conflict they picked?
If I understand it correctly, the 13 are not in good standing solely because they participated in the protests. So they are very much being penalised for their participation and nothing else.
How do they define ‘good standing’? Did the students get incompletes from missing class or something?
If it is JUST protesting then that is some bullshit.
