Wall Street Journal article on William Bowen's commencement address yesterday at Haverford College, at which he scolded the students who had pressured the first-choice graduation speaker to pull out.

Time's account of the reaction from the student who had organized the protest against the original speaker.

Full text of Bowen's commencement speech here.

(Of course, such situations are always far more complicated than they appear in the press, but it's undeniable that there's been a real epidemic of university students pressuring graduation speakers to bow out this year.)
