Protests work. Contentment doesn't change anything.

Agreed. Great work by the students, and good on the senior management for listening to their students!

Honestly I'm betting they're doing this because the uni had little to no investments in Israeli companies in the first place.

It was one company, and the students had blocked access to a revenue generator for the Uni.

One of my Alma maters. Spent a lot of time in it's incredible library and a pub just up the road.
