A fire alarm brought a Harvard speaker event featuring Yo-Yo Ma and Stephen Colbert to an early end Thursday amid a student union demonstration, Boston.com reported.
The Harvard Graduate Students Union denied any involvement in the disruption. The available report does not establish a connection between the demonstration and the alarm.
The interruption cut short an event bringing together the cellist and television host at Harvard. Boston.com’s account identified the fire alarm as the reason the program ended early, but the supplied summary did not explain what triggered it.
The union’s denial is the only response described in the available source material. That material does not include a statement from Harvard, Ma or Colbert about the interruption, nor does it describe the demonstration’s demands.
No information about whether the event would be rescheduled was included in the supplied report.
