Scores of Boston University students turned their backs on the head of one of Hollywood’s biggest studios as he gave the school’s commencement address in a stadium where protesters supporting the Hollywood writers’ strike picketed outside

Protesters supporting the Hollywood writers' strike march past a member of law enforcement, left, while forming a picket line outside an entrance to Boston University commencement ceremonies, Sunday, May 21, 2023, in Boston. David Zaslav, president and CEO of Warner Bros. Discovery, delivered an address during ceremonies Sunday.

“The writers being here today can help show the students that wealth is different than good," said Caramele, a winner of Emmy and Peabody awards for work on her sister's show, “Inside Amy Schumer.” Zaslav, a graduate of the university's law school in the mid-1980s, was a contentious pick, with many alumni taking to social media with their objections.
