Brown University has refused pro-Palestinian student demands to divest from companies doing business with Israel.
The university’s highest governing body, the Corporation of Brown University, says divesting “would signal that there are ‘approved’ points of views to which members of the community are expected to conform,” which would be “wholly inconsistent with the principles of academic freedom and free inquiry and would undermine our mission.”
In a letter announcing the decision, Brown President Christina Paxson and Chancellor Brian Moynihan, who also heads the Corporation, added that “Brown’s mission doesn’t encompass resolving or adjudicating global conflict.”
