US Universities Say No to BDS | United with Israel
Chapman University trustee Jim Burra emphasized the institution s fiduciary responsibility to grow and preserve its endowment, which supports the university s mission. The University of Minnesota and Oberlin College also declined to divest from Israel, citing fiduciary duty and potential negative impacts on their financial resources and ability to foster critical discourse. Williams College s Advisory Committee on Shareholder Responsibility rejected divestment proposals, citing potential negative effects on investment performance and lack of consensus on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Brown University s Corporation of trustees is considering a divestment proposal, which could lead to legal consequences due to anti-BDS laws in many states. American universities are largely rejecting demands to divest from Israel and entities linked to the Jewish state, further challenging the pro-Hamas protest movement.
