CUNY Cancels Israel Boycott One Month After Implementation
The City of New York (CUNY) system’s union dropped its Israel boycott resolution one month after it implemented it.
The Professional Staff Congress voted it down 113 to 62. From The College Fix:
Israel is no longer targeted with a boycott and divestment resolution by the City University of New York system’s union.The Professional Staff Congress rescinded its resolution in support of “Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions,” just one month after it first passed.“Moments ago, after massive pressure, public backlash, legal action by S.A.F.E. Campus, and dozens of resignations from Jewish and other members of the union, the PSC-CUNY (@psc_cuny) voted to rescind January’s vote to adopt BDS as policy and to divest its investment funds from Israel,” SAFE Campus wrote on X last night. The group advocates for Jewish students, faculty, and staff at the public university system.The January resolution “told its pension system that it supports ‘complete disinvestment from Israel,’” according to previous reporting from the New York Post.The resolution would also lead to the union divesting “from any investment vehicle that includes in its portfolio stocks and bonds of Israeli companies and Israeli government bonds no later than the end of January 2026,” as the NY Post reported.
