Hundreds who attended annual graduation Thursday at Harvard College, Harvard University’s undergraduate college, staged a walkout to decry its disqualification of 13 students involved in earlier protests.

The omission set off some of those invited to commencement, and a walkout was staged shortly before 11 a.m. Thursday, with some participants chanting “Let them walk” and other slogans for about 10 minutes, according to video from the event.
Interim President Alan M. Garber spoke at commencement and was prepared for the action.
