NYC Mayor Adams Is Met With Boos At CUNY Law School Graduation
New York City, New York - Mayor Adams was greeted with boos and turned backs during a CUNY Law School commencement address Friday — a day after City University students and professors protested against budget cuts laid out in the mayor’s most recent spending plan.
Friday’s public demonstration, which was reminiscent of NYPD officers turning their backs on former Mayor Bill de Blasio, came as the current mayor was urging graduates to “get on the field and participate about improving the lives of the people of this city.”
As he spoke, boos could be heard echoing throughout the auditorium, with dozens of graduates turning their backs.
