Former US ambassador to UN heckled at CUNY graduation ceremony

Students from the Colin Powell School at City College of New York heckled Linda Thomas-Greenfield, the former US ambassador to the UN during the Biden administration, at their graduation ceremony on Thursday.

Working as the ambassador from 2021 to 2025, Greenfield represented the US during United Nations Security Council meetings as member states voted on ceasefire resolutions, which she voted against several times.

In 2024, both the University of Vermont and the Xavier University of Louisiana cancelled commencement addresses by her due to student protest.
