Brown Becomes First US University to Consider Divesting from ‘Israel’
Link: https://english.alahednews.com.lb/76092/393
Brown University reached an agreement on Tuesday with students protesting the “Israeli” aggression on Gaza that would see them remove their encampment from school grounds in exchange for the institution considering divesting from “Israel”. | The move represents the first major concession from an elite American university amid the continuous student protests that have paralyzed campuses across the country. ● In a statement, Brown president Christina Paxson said students had agreed to end their protests and clear their camp by 5 p.m. local time Tuesday and “refrain from further actions that would violate Brown’s conduct code through the end of the academic year.” ● In turn, “five students will be invited to meet with five members of the Corporation of Brown University in May to present their arguments to divest Brown’s endowment from ‘companies enabling and profiting from the genocide in Gaza.'” The board will vote on the proposal in October.
