Columbia Has Divested Before: Here's What Happened | WSJ
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 27 май 2024
- Many pro-Palestinian student protesters are demanding schools drop Israel investments. The demands vary from school to school.
At Columbia University, protesters are pressing for the sale of holdings tied to companies allegedly profiting from Israel’s actions like Google, Amazon and Airbnb. At Yale and Cornell, students have called for their schools to divest themselves of weapons manufacturers involved in Israel’s campaign. But how does divestment work at universities?
WSJ explores the history of divestment movements at schools and the challenges involved in modern divestment initiatives.

Shame on u
Why are American universities even investing in weapons manufacturers? Am I the only one thinks this is insane????
Because many universities have massive weapons contracts. Its a pipeline. Think Georgia Tech working closely with Lockheed Martin
Universities have endowments, you invest the endowment to make money and use the profits for the university like financial aid. Defense companies are just a category of companies.
Universities are a business - that’s why.
To make money, duh.
Well a lot of civilian technology also comes from the R&D in advanced technology that's used for weapon systems. The most obvious example would be the internet that you're using right now to watch this video.
And this has roots going back to the beginning of cold war and if not before that during WWII

Let's not revise history, WSJ. As a result of divestment *and* sanctions, the value of the South African rand dropped dramatically during the 1980s. That economic pressure *did* help to end apartheid.
The citation at 5:44 is misleading. The study's focus is narrow, examining whether specific acts of divestment made a dent in economic valuations. But the divestment campaign's success was *cumulative* . The successful divestment protests created a political environment that facilitated capital flight from South Africa, as doing business with South Africa became a toxic PR nightmare and the political support for government sanctions grew.
The value of the rand didn't drop for no reason, and capital didn't gush out of South Africa for no reason.
This is about Universities not general divestment.
@@Sam_Guevenne Right, and with South Africa, it *started* with universities and then the movement grew, eventually making a real impact. Which is exactly what the protesters are hoping for today- to initiate a broader movement by taking action where they can.
This is a really important point, the SA divest movement was gradual but had a massive cumulative effect. It, like the current protests are trying to do, raised the social and economic costs of supporting apartheid which is good regardless of other outcomes.
South Africa and Israel now have even more remarkably similar modern histories now than before. I’d hope that continues up until the part after Mandela.
anyone remember when university's invested in prisons
Don't they still do???
which?
Anyone remember when prison having a library is what made Malcolm X into Malcolm X
…No wonder they got rid of it.
"Keep in mind, the news media are not independent; they are a sort of bulletin board and public relations firm for the ruling class-the people who run things. Those who decide what news you will or will not hear are paid by, and tolerated purely at the whim of, those who hold economic power." - George Carlin
".....Keep in mind, the news media are not independent"
Guess what, neither are the students. They're sheep manipulated by Islamic groups who are funding these sit-ins. As proven by the fact that many arrested are outside agitators
Why are we listening to Charlie Eaton? This guy has no idea what he’s talking about. What credibility does he have besides being a professor at one of the worst UC’s in California. Merced is the school students usually put at the bottom of their fall back colleges.
They want to divest from “companies profiting from the war in Gaza,” but don’t include any Qatari companies?
Such an Shameful act that University place where Education and knowledge is imparted is taking money from weapons manufacture and lobbyist and profiting from colonial occupation and supporting Apartheid
It seems Money is more Important, rather Upholding Justice and Law
That's not how it works. No money is going from Universities directly to the hands of IDF soldiers. The closest thing is that tech that is developed in Universities is sold to another party that makes the products and sells it to Israel. The Internet was developed this way.
What about they stop using Amazon and Google themselves.
Wow, such a strong point 😂😂

@@gabrielgarcia7554 it is a suggestion not a judgment " what about ... ? " and if we can't cut off completely we can reduce consumption. as individuals we need to do our part first. It is not because they are manifesting for a good cause that we don't have any right to suggest and shut up. I see people offedend as soon as we suggest that the person does their part individually before asking for more. Because in general we like throw all the blame on others
Why are you saying such stupid things?
"Columbia has been divested before"
Yeah even back in 1912, ask Comstock
They are investing in arms companies so we, in the West (including Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan), can live in freedom and be ahead of our adversaries.
Study what we want, and love who we want. You can take all that for granted but it is not a given.
😂😂🎉🎉
One of the better cracks at outlining this that I've seen but still murky as they don't shed any light on what Columbia's current investments in Israel actually are.
This people are so clueless on how they’re being pawned to the situation, this students claims to be smart but can’t even think this further. So sad
I demand that no state taxpayer's money fund any of these schools for any reason. I demand that no state taxpayer's funds clear the roads around these schools in bad weather. I demand that no school taxpayer's money funds any retirement programs that involve state pension retirement benefits.
No word on the hypocrisy of calling to divest Israel but leaving China, Iran, Syria, Russia all in?
unlike israel, half of the countries you mention have sanctions placed upon them and the other probably don't have investment from these universities. no point in protesting
ya, china for building theirs and other country
well China, Iran, Syria, Russia arent nazi states. so theres that
Israel is no better? Israel was a state created by the UN because of western interference. The British government made that mistake years ago so here we are…..
Every problem we have right now is because of imperialism…
China is too allied to the government for large scale protests to happen, Iran isn’t committing genocide, Syria has literally lost 2/3 of their people to this war we have helped cause, and Russia actually has seen mass protests but isn’t being supported by America. Hope this helps!
Matt Damon looks good with glasses.
The effect it may or not have might be irrelevant, the point might be the students don't want to be associated with a society that behaves unethically. And if they are such a minor stake in the portfolio it should be relatively easy to do in my finance experience.
That is not the point. Holding Israel to some unique ( often brainwashed ) standard) - while remaining oblivious to a multitude of unspeakables - constitutes a profound moral flaw and apparent bigotry.
The boycott and divesting will fail. Unlike south Africa, US and Israeli companies are involved in core technologies and services with no viable alternative in all important sectors eg. Finance, food, Comms, healthcare.
South africa boycotts were also bigoted
@@John-bravooo How so?
With that mindset, yes.
But if we persist, at one point the Government can't do nothing.
All of the affirmationed protest with South Africa, where believed to fail.
But see now.

@@segalliongaming8925 To be fair. The Western govts have been nagging the Indians for a while now, ever since the Hindu nationalist Modi was elected into power. Always whining about the Muslim rights, while often selectively ignoring the way the Muslim countries treat non-Muslims. This is the same nonsense the United States does against Russia for invading and attempting to carry out regime change on Ukraine. Completely forgetting the decades of the US lead War on Terror that created more terrorist havens by destabilizing countries across the world.

@@samuellee8333 Before the occupation of Hamilton, most people could go about their daily lives without paying attention to the encampment (although there were some disruptions like the media outside the gates and non-affiliates having trouble entering). But when campus had to be closed down for the clearing of Hamilton, the disruption became a lot worse because most people weren't even allowed to set foot on campus - in fact, access was only restored today. Fortunately this only happened after classes ended, so only our finals were impacted, but losing access to our regular study spaces and places to just spend time was quite annoying.
@@samuellee8333 Sorry, I thought I remembered to respond. Although the encampment attracted a lot of outside protestors that were much more of a security risk than the student protestors, the protests were not really disruptive before Hamilton Hall was occupied, since the main inconveniences were maneuvering around the crowds outside and having to swipe an ID to enter campus, as non-affiliates were not allowed to enter. It was easy for most people to go about their daily lives and ignore the protests, but when Hamilton Hall was occupied, campus was shut down to everyone except for the students living there, which was quite inconvenient - in fact, we only got access back yesterday or the day before. Things seem to have calmed down now
If you were asking about the endowment and the practicalities of divesting, we don't know any more than outsiders do, so I can only give an opinion :)
Do better WSJ. In PE, a principal’s money is locked up for 5-10 years. And if a school breached this contract and yanked their money early after giving an ultimatum RE divesting from Israel, that would be illegal and they’d be blackballed from the industry. Why did you not go more in depth here- demands for immediate divestment are both poorly defined and legally obtuse
Chance of being blackballed is 0, you don't know the industry.
@@seandelaney1700 Saying chances at being blackballed are zero over divesting in this climate for political reasons demonstrates your lack of industry knowledge.
The international campaign to boycott apartheid South Africa was instrumental in freeing Nelson Mandela and ending apartheid. But what fewer people talk about is that apartheid was ended by a referendum on whether to "adopt a new constitution" (end apartheid), and that this election was held under apartheid. Israel does not have a constitution... yet. If you want a Palestinian state, I'm telling you that we're going to have one. No country can be expected to allow their own citizens to be abducted. And to quote Nelson Mandela, terrorist turned pacificist:
"We hope that... we are strengthening the voice of peace and friendship in Israel and Palestine; so that, as we enter the new millennium, we shall all have taken a giant stride towards a world in which our humanity will be the hallmark of our relations across colour, religious and other divides."
One state, the state of Israel and Palestine, Jews and Arabs, working side by side for peace in Israel and Palestine.

Now that it's mainstream in the West for the first time in its history (which is why our government is panicking and unleashing state thugs on students, they don't know how to properly contain or respond to the massive surge in support) you see it as a trend that would fade away but the dam has broken and Israel can no longer hide its crimes from the world.

I've been on the ground at the University of Texas protests. UT is my alma mater, and I showed up to help a group of grad students I'm friends with.

This is what happens when you feed your kids with soy...
They stand up for what they believe in instead of posting their opinions on RUclips videos? I’d rather they don’t end up like you.
Better than feeding kids petrol lead like your dad did.
Divest!! 🇵🇸

False Accusations Of Genocide Are Disgusting!!!!!
35k people are dead, end the cognitive dissonance!
@@cranberrijuiccyou have no idea what genocide is do you?
Then again you think Hamas is right so your only problem with genoicide is the wrong people are genocided.
@@AL-lh2ht where did I state Hamas was right, you’re making assumptions. Strip away your beliefs and your biases and look at the objective facts. 35k people have been murdered. That’s a genocide. And cannot be justified under any circumstances. Get over yourself
Are false accusations of genocide disgusting? There is a risk of cheapening the word if we misuse it. But when someone uses it sincerely, wouldn't it be better if we paused and made sure there was no case first? Wouldn't ignoring such an accusation be more disgusting, turning a blind eye, etc.? Sincere question.
@@grahamfloyd3451 I've read the definition & the History of Genocide, Israel's Actions do not compare otherwise they'd be killing thousands of Palestinians a day and wouldn't be evacuating people out of a combat zone first for starters...
