Brown University Rejects Divestment Proposal Amid Student Protests

Brown University has voted against a proposal to divest from companies linked to Israel, sparking backlash from pro-Palestinian students on campus. Despite a significant portion of the undergraduate population supporting the divestment initiative, the university's Corporation firmly rejected the calls, stating that the proposed Boycott, Divestment, Sanction (BDS) strategy is not aligned with the institution's values. This decision has led to ongoing discussions among students, who remain committed to advocating for their cause.
