WHY IS UNIVERSITY DIVESTMENT IMPORTANT? NYT reports that bombs used on Rafah 5/26 were made by Woodward Inc., a CO aerospace manufacturer. Woodward stock is part of the Vanguard International Equity Index fund in which UChicago has now invested $6,720,500.

Silver lining: the way in which universities are having their faculty arrested, threatening tenured faculty with unstated punishment, and disciplining students against faculty wishes shows how much faculty don't run the university -- and so undermines Yeshiva v. NLRB.
