The Columbia University student workers’ union withdrew its demand that the university divest financially from Israel at a bargaining meeting this week.
The union constitutes over 3,000 undergraduate and graduate student workers. At a general body meeting on Monday, the union’s members voted on the decision.
SWC-UAW pulled a contract article entitled “Obligations Under International Law,” which pressed the university to divest from companies and state actors in violation of international law, as defined by the United Nations and the International Criminal Court.
Columbia will open its global centre in Tel Aviv this summer.
Shameful surrender and abandonment of any pretense to have any ethical values.
Never met anyone from that school worth hiring
Wut? Lots of excellent journalists came from Colombia. Many of them participated in these uprisings
Maybe at one time…
And they won’t be influential journalists at any major newspaper
🤨
the rest of the planet will always be thrown under the bus by petite bougie usians who just want a better salary off the backs of global south labor.
