Harvard University hosted graduation celebrations for certain identity groups in 2023 but excluded Jews.

The now-deleted “Affinity Celebrations for Graduates” page on Harvard’s website boasts events for “Graduates with Disabilities,” “Indigenous Graduates,” “Latinx Graduates,” “LGBTQ+ Graduates,” “Arab Graduates,” “Black Graduates,” and more.

“Affinity celebrations are student-led, staff supported events that recognize and celebrate the accomplishments of graduates from historically marginalized communities,” the web page stated. “These University-wide celebrations provide an opportunity for graduates to honor those who have helped them achieve their milestone while centering their cultural traditions and values.”

According to the website, the celebrations “are made possible by the collaboration of the Office for Equity, Diversity, Inclusion, and Belonging; the DIB Leadership Council; the Council of Deans of Students; the Commencement Office; and students.”
