Students Object to Oklahoma Commencement Speaker
March 11, 2013 - 3:00am
Some University of Oklahoma students are objecting to the choice of the journalist Fareed Zakaria as this year's commencement speaker, The Oklahoman reported. Zakaria's journalism at Time and CNN has led to numerous campus speaking invitations. But students note that he was suspended from his journalism jobs last year (and then reinstated) after he was found to have used portions of a New Yorker article for one of his Time pieces. Doug McKnight, a senior, said he would skip commencement, because "I don't think I can go hear him talk to me about integrity and professionalism."
