As families flocked into Harvard Yard for the University’s 374th Commencement, some were handed a mock program that parodied the official ceremony and doxxed more than two dozen Harvard students and organizers — mostly affiliated with pro-Palestine student groups.

The materials were distributed by Accuracy in Media, a conservative advocacy group led by president Adam Guillette, who was seen handing out flyers outside the Harvard Yard gates Thursday morning. The group also stationed a large digital doxxing truck near Johnston Gate. The billboard displayed student photos and names under the heading “Harvard’s Leading Antisemites” and threatened that “accountability doesn’t end on Commencement day.”

On the flyer, the group listed the full names of more than 20 students, labeling them as “leaders of antisemitism at Harvard” and affiliated them with campus organizations such as the Harvard Undergraduate Palestine Solidarity Committee and the African American Resistance Organizations. Several of those named are graduating seniors.

Accuracy in Media detailed their strategy for publicly targeting the individuals, writing that they “buy your domain name” and then “work with SEO experts to ensure this domain appears at the top of search results.”

The flyer also included a fake Commencement program emblazoned with a doctored Harvard seal reading “HAMAS,” a list of fabricated events including a “Ceremonial Burning of an American Flag,” and a group chant titled “Death to America, Death to Israel.” The parody falsely credited University officials and student organizers with events like “Why I Decided To Embrace Antisemitism” and “Creating a Safe Space for Everyone … Except the Jews.”
