The University of Minnesota (UMN) divestment coalition, initiated by the school’s Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP), celebrated the success of the resolution, which passed on April 13.

Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) midwest regional conference attendees were shocked to find Indiana University – Purdue University Indianapolis’ (IUPUI) outside walls and windows covered with defamatory flyers targeting SJP member Haneen* the morning of April 3rd.

Late last month, the University of California (UC) Board of Regents adopted a revised “Statement of Principles Against Intolerance.” 

For the second year in a row, Students for Justice (SJP) at Northeastern University in Boston has been blocked by the Student Government Association from placing its divestment referendum on the ballot for a vote.

A number of Boston University students released four demands last Friday protesting their removal from a BU Hillel event in January, which had been advertised as a public event for students.

The University Student Government at Ohio State University tabled OSU Divest’s resolution, despite student leaders speaking in favor of the resolution and a big showing of support from organizations on campus, according to a OSU Divest press release.

The UMN Divest resolution was scheduled to be voted on by the Minnesota Student Association earlier this week, but before the resolution even hit the senate floor, a senator motioned to strike both resolutions from the agenda.

The divestment resolution, which was presented to the University of Minnesota Student Association (MSA) last week, will be voted on tonight.
