“Disclose, divest, we will not stop, we will not rest,” protesters at Columbia and universities across the country have chanted.
Student protesters who oppose Israel’s military action in Gaza are demanding that their universities sell investments in companies with ties to Israel.
Pro-Palestinian protesters say divestment would send an important message of disapproval of Israel’s conduct in Gaza.
But while demonstrators have spread their messages across the country, many schools haven’t acquiesced to protesters’ calls for divestment.
There are historical precedents for university divestment.
