The University of Minnesota has recently made headlines by agreeing to hear student demands to divest from Israel, following in the footsteps of Northwestern and Brown universities.
University officials reached an agreement with pro-Palestinian protesters to end their encampment on the Minneapolis campus. As part of the deal, representatives from the coalition of student organizations involved will have the opportunity to address the university's Board of Regents at their upcoming meeting on May 10. The discussion will focus on the students' demands for the university to divest its investments in Israel.
