纽约大学校长安德鲁·汉密尔顿发表声明
"I对于学生演讲者选择利用文理研究生院的博士毕业来表达自己对BDS及相关问题的个人观点感到十分反感，这是他在毕业典礼前提交的演讲版本中没有使用的语言。我们很抱歉观众不得不经历这些不恰当的评论。毕业典礼应该是一个共享的、包容的活动;演讲者的一面之词和带有倾向性的话，毫无道理地使一些听众感到不受欢迎和排斥。
"Let me use this occasion to reaffirm the University’s position – NYU rejects academic boycotts of Israel, rejects calls to close its Tel Aviv campus, and denounces efforts to ostracize or exclude those in the University community based on their location in Israel, their Israeli origin, or their political feelings for Israel."
