Columbia College Passes Historic Vote on Divestment from Israel

While Columbia is not the first college to pass divestment from companies supporting Israel’s occupation, it joins a growing list of U.S. colleges and universities, including the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, which passed a divestment referendum just last week. Columbia follows in the footsteps of Barnard College, where students in April 2018 voted overwhelmingly in favor of a similar divestment referendum.
