University of Cape Town Rescinds Motion to Boycott Israel
(Jerusalem Post) Ilanit Chernick - The University of Cape Town (UCT) on Friday rescinded a motion for an academic boycott of Israel, Wendy Kahn, national director of the South African Jewish Board of Deputies, reported. In March, the university's senate initially voted in favor of such a motion by 62-43 with 10 abstentions. However, the UCT Council, which governs the university, blocked the boycott motion. Following months of investigations by the senate, a motion to rescind the boycott was approved by 68%.
