divestment

An officer first addressed the crowd, gathered on both sides of the Eagleson bridge south of 7th street, and asked the protesters to remove the tent.

As the death toll mounts in the war in Gaza and the humanitarian crisis worsens, protesters at universities across the country are demanding schools cut financial ties to Israel and divest from companies they say are enabling the conflict.

Faculty behind the effort pointed out that other universities, including the University of Illinois, Michigan, and Minnesota, have already developed divestment plans.

Among other actions, the order required the Indiana Public Retirement System to report Russian-related investments.
