Some Harvard School of Public Health (HSPH) students recently voted overwhelmingly in favor of divesting from Israeli companies. This decision was made in response to the ongoing conflict in the region and the perceived violations of human rights by the Israeli government.
The vote, which took place during a meeting of the HSPH Student Government, saw a clear majority in favor of divestment, with only a small minority voting against it. The students who voted in favor of divestment cited a desire to stand in solidarity with the Palestinian people and to send a message that they did not support the actions of the Israeli government.
This decision has sparked controversy within the HSPH community, with some students and faculty members expressing support for the vote while others have criticized it as one-sided and lacking nuance.
It remains to be seen what impact this vote will have on the HSPH’s investment policies and whether it will lead to any concrete changes in the future. In the meantime, the debate over divestment from Israeli companies continues to divide the HSPH community.
