Brown University Rejects Divestment from Israel
(JTA) Andrew Lapin - Brown University's board of governors has rejected a student-led proposal to divest from companies with business in Israel. "After a year of insanity, antisemitic sloganeering, maligning of Jewish students, this is a day that we can be proud of our institutions," said Rabbi Josh Bolton, executive director of Brown/RISD Hillel in Providence, Rhode Island. The board wrote, "The Corporation reaffirmed that Brown's mission is to discover, communicate and preserve knowledge. It is not to adjudicate or resolve global conflicts."
