The Harvard Law School student body voted on Thursday to call on the University to divest from Israel — delivering a decisive endorsement of language that Law School administrators harshly criticized before it went up for a vote.
The resolution, which called on Harvard to “divest from weapons, surveillance technology, and other companies aiding violations of international humanitarian law, including Israel’s genocide in Gaza and its ongoing illegal occupation of Palestine,” passed with 72.7 percent of votes in favor, with 842 students participating. Nearly 2,000 students attend HLS.

In fiscal year 2024, Harvard received $686 million from federal agencies, accounting for 66% of its total sponsored research expenditures and 11% of the University’s operating revenue.

It’s very sad to see my friend. My thoughts are with all those affected by these events. If 60% of Americans really are living pay check to pay check, then the country is on a the edge of a disaster or exploitation.
