CLAREMONT, Calif. (KABC) -- Graduates from Pomona College in Claremont will have to travel more than 30 miles for their commencement ceremony Sunday, as administrators seek to avoid a pro-Palestinian encampment on campus.

The college said it will provide graduates transportation to the new venue, the Shrine Auditorium in University Park.

"We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience of these changes made to ensure that the Class of 2024 can graduate with their loved ones in attendance," the college said on its website.

Most parents who spoke with Eyewitness News said they are furious with the decision.

Shrine Auditorium is about 40 miles west of Claremont, California...It is near USC campus...It once hosted the Academy Awards ceremony...

I guess the Pomona College administration did not want ask police to remove the tents before the graduation on Sunday...But, I think police will be called eventually to remove those tents...After the graduation is over...

The issue here is the college taking it sitting down.

Educrats are cowards and bullies. They’ll harass some student but they will knuckle under to the head choppers. No balls.

EVERY SINGLE PROTESTER NEEDS TO BE ARRESTED:

FINED $100,000

PUT ON NO FLY LIST WORLDWIDE

NOT ALLOWED TO EVER GET A PASSPORT

DO 100,000 hours of “Community service

BE ALLOWED to ONLY VOTE IN PERSON——WITH PICTURE ID.

Wrong approach. The college should have gotten police to break up the protestors, but that’s not the way CA does things. When you announce that you will no longer go after thieves if the amount is less than $1000, how dumb are you when you’re surprised that theft increased exponentially.

II don’t understand the whole “encampment” thing. I understand protests. I don’t agree with them. But the camp out thing is lost on me. Didn’t college protestors just have sit-ins and occupations of college administrative offices?

Who wants to camp out on the quad?
