The vote will pass and the board will consider the petition but will ultimately reject it due to legal advice about their fiduciary responsibility for the endowment and the risk of antisemitism suits of a zionism-related company is divested from.

As a result, we have heard the recent concerns regarding tuition changes, and we have decided to reinstate our partnership with Israel to secure DOD funding and reduce tuition.”
