BDS Loses Again

Share this article

It’s almost as hard to find a campus on which the movement to Boycott, Divest from and Sanction Israel (BDS) is not well represented as it is to find one in which they have achieved success. By the way, the American Association of University Professors (AAUP) is against it.

“At its June meeting the committee also discussed two troubling developments related to the academic boycott of Israel,” the AAUP claims. “The committee continues to oppose all academic boycotts, including such a boycott of Israel, as inconsistent with principles of academic freedom. At the same time, however, we defend the right of faculty members to advocate such a boycott.”
