LeGrand, whose recovery from a paralyzing injury suffered during a game has become a unifying and inspirational story for the school, was announced Tuesday, MAY 6, 2014, as one of its commencement speakers, a day after he said the offer to do so was rescinded &quot;for political reasons.&quot; The announcement from Rutgers President Robert Barchi, who said there was a &quot;miscommunication&quot; about the speeches, is the latest development in a strange saga surrounding the May 18 ceremony.
