Campus Reform reports:

Evergreen State College caves to anti-Israel activists, agrees to divestment task forceEvergreen State College has caved to the demands of its Hamas-endorsed campus occupiers, agreeing to parrot Hamas propaganda and entertain anti-Israeli sentiment.The school issued a memorandum on April 30 detailing its agreement with its anti-Israel “Gaza Solidarity Encampment.”This decision follows a trend of colleges caving to their own radical anti-Israel occupiers’ demands.As part of the agreement, Evergreen State, which is located in Olympia, Washington, will establish four committees staffed by both students and faculty members. The memorandum detailing the committees’ missions uses biased, anti-Israel language, suggesting the Jewish State is guilty of “gross human rights violations.”The “Investment Policy Disappearing Task Force” will “address divestment from companies that profit from gross human rights violations and/or” what the college terms the “occupation” of “Palestinian territories.” The task force “will work with the Foundation and the college to establish the soonest time recommendations can be made and acted upon.”The second committee, the “Grant Acceptance Policy Disappearing Task Force,” will be “charged with recommending a policy that would provide criteria for accepting or refusing grant funding based on the purposes of the grant.” The criteria “would include such considerations as whether grants facilitate illegal occupations abroad, limit free speech, or support the oppression of minorities.”The “Civilian Oversight of the Police Department Disappearing Task Force” will be “charged with proposing a new Police Services Community Review Board structure.”Finally, the “Alternative Models of Crisis Response Disappearing Task Force” will focus on finding a way to respond to emergencies on campus without using police.
