The Palestinian-led Boycott, Divest and Sanctions (BDS) movement has guided a lot of Pro-Palestinian movements across US campuses since the onset of Israel’s war on Gaza, demanding universities end their investments in companies that facilitate or profit from Israel’s occupation of Palestine and the war.
On the question of why these judges from different states were writing in regards to the affairs of a private New York City university, the letter read: “This issue is a matter of special concern to the states because students from across the country attend Columbia University.”
The letter goes on to commend Columbia University’s earlier decision not to divest from Israel and to continue to “hold the line”, urging the administration “to continue to maintain that position despite blatantly antisemitic pressure from some pro-Palestine student groups”.
