students across the country are
protesting demanding that their
universities cut Financial ties with
Israel’s economy so what does that mean
it’s a part of a broader movement known
as BDS boycott investment and sanctions
of Corporations and institutions that
are supportive of Israel it would mean
that the universities need to take a
closer look at their endowments and sell
off any Investments that are supportive
of weapons manufacturers or companies
that do business with the country of
Israel universities have largely ignored
students calls for divestment many say
that their objective is to maximize
returns to support operations including
the financial aid dollars that make it
possible for many students to attend
their institution yet students continue
to push the issue with the hopes that
universities will relent much like they
did in South Africa during the apart
tide divestment movement of the 1980s
