Approximately 100 graduating Notre Dame students walked out of their commencement on Saturday as a staged protest against their commencement speaker, Vice President Mike Pence.
According to IndyStar, a group of students led by former student body president Bryan Ricketts had planned the protest since Pence was first announced as commencement speaker back in March. Police had been made aware of the protest. A video posted by NBC South Bend affiliate WNDU — which you can watch below — shows the students leaving Notre Dame Stadium to a mix of cheers and boos as Pence began his speech.
