UC Riverside Student Leaders Revoke Israel Divestment Policy
(Los Angeles Times) Larry Gordon - University of California Riverside's student government has reversed itself and revoked a prior resolution that urged the UC system to divest from companies that have contracts with Israel's military. Student leaders moved to drop the divestment policy after approving it just a month ago because they came to see how it made Jewish students feel "marginalized," according to Armando Saldana, the Associated Students' executive vice president. The vote Wednesday was 10 in favor of dropping the divestment issue and two opposed. Last month, it was 11 in favor of divestment and five opposed.
