Brown University Board Rejects Israel Divestment Proposal Targeting 10 Companies

Oct 9, 2024, 05:18 PM

Brown University's governing body has voted to accept an advisory committee's recommendation and will not divest from 10 companies identified in a student-led Israel Divestment Proposal as facilitating "the Israeli occupation of Palestinian Territory." The Board's decision effectively rejects calls for the university to participate in the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement against Israel.
