US Education Secretary Betsy DeVos has been greeted with a chorus of boos from students at Bethune-Cookman University in Florida.
She was giving the graduation address at the historically black college in Daytona Beach when students began to interrupt:
IN: I am honoured...
OUT: [boos]
DUR: 7 seconds

The school's president, Edison Jackson, eventually had to interrupt Ms DeVos's speech, saying students would have their diplomas sent to them in the post if the disruption continued:
IN: If this behaviour...
OUT: ...want to go
DUR: 14 seconds

Ms. DeVos insisted that the Trump administration is committed to supporting historically black colleges and universities, but the American Civil Liberties Union says her attempts to create a voucher system would hurt public schools.
