You attempt a lazy joke here because it seems you need attention, but policy like this matters, especially when things get “quiet” again after the spotlight fades. Also, in addition to divestment, the university also met their demand to appoint “a faculty member from Faculty for Justice in Palestine to sit on the finance committee, ensuring that investments remain ethical every year.”
Attention seeking? It seems like this could have been a single student government vote.
The university’s communications office didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment from Jezebel on whether it is referring explicitly to Israel, or whether it regards Israel’s actions in Gaza as falling under the umbrella of “genocide, ethnic cleansing, and activities that violate fundamental human rights.”
Edit: Actually, just posting a list of the hundred + of schools that have changed official investment policy is not a fair response. The point is that it happens all the time, but it doesn’t grab headlines. SGAs work with university leaders to cooperatively effect change not only on a regular basis, but as an essential part of their functioning.

And more effective, too.
And more effective? Which university had a student government vote that change the university policy?

I’m happy to repost the list if you would like.
Yes, attention seeking - your undereducated pussyfooting is transparent, exhausting and embarrassing, friend.
