Harvard Law Students Vote for Endowment to Sever Israel Ties

Harvard Law School students voted to demand the university’s $53 billion endowment divest from “weapons, surveillance technology” and other companies tied to Israel, a symbolic vote that brings renewed attention to a protest movement that has drawn the Trump administration’s ire.

Harvard’s administration said last year it won’t divest and the student vote carries no enforcement, but the move puts anti-Israel protests back in the spotlight at a time when President Alan Garber is trying to reassure Republicans they’re taking seriously criticisms of the school, which includes its handling of antisemitism.
