“While the University will not divest from Israel,” it offered to create an expedited timeline for a review of new proposals from students by the school’s Advisory Committee for Socially Responsible Investing, which explores divestment, Shafik said.

“The University also offered to publish a process for students to access a list of Columbia’s direct investment holdings, and to increase the frequency of updates to that list of holdings,” she added.

lol. They didn’t even reveal their investments. They said, “Look over here, we made some new bureaucratic games for you to play.” Only true bureaucrat perverts would think that would appease anyone.

I guess it’s not shocking that a private university cares more about Israeli money than their student body.

I’m more concerned about the public ones, which are not even trying to negotiate and putting snipers on nearby rooftops.

Excuse me, Columbia, but you’re not getting the message.

Israel will be starved of USA funding once the boomers are gone. The kids see what’s going on.

“Noisy distraction”

Yeah, that’s the point

Did the administration they try offering a 6 week temporary boycott in exchange for all the protestors going to jail forever?

I hear if someone rejects that amazing offer they are literally the Nazis.

One their enrollment and current student participation drops off a cliff, this will change. Lol negotiations have stalled? The protesters only want one thing!

Columbus is being so, so brave here. Something so trivial as divesting from Isreali industries in the middle of a genocide is the hill they’ll die on… so brave…
