BREAKING: After Rutgers students stage a sit-in to protest her selection as commencement speaker, Dr. Condoleezza Rice withdraws, saying in a statement: "Commencement should be a time of joyous celebration ... Rutgers' invitation to me to speak has become a distraction for the university community ... I am honored to have served my country. I have defended America's belief in free speech and the exchange of ideas. ... But that is not what is at issue here. As a Professor for thirty years at Stanford University and as its former Provost and Chief academic officer, I understand and embrace the purpose of the commencement ceremony and I am simply unwilling to detract from it in any way."
