   The University of Southern California said its valedictorian will no   
   longer deliver a graduation speech this year, citing "substantial risks   
   relating to security" over social media chatter surrounding the Israel-   
   Hamas conflict.   
      
   The Los Angeles school revealed that Asna Tabassum, a fourth-year student   
   from Chino Hills, California, was selected as the valedictorian and would   
   give a speech alongside two salutatorians. In a news release Monday, the   
   university said she would no longer speak at the ceremony after the   
   discussion about her selection took on "an alarming tenor."   
      
   The move comes after some students, alumni and others complained to the   
   university about Tabassum's social media, which includes an Instagram bio   
   that links to a pro-Palestine website.
