Statement on the 51³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏUndergraduate Senate Resolution

"The AUSG Undergraduate Senate non-binding resolution calling for divestment from Israel does not represent 51³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ’s position and will not be implemented. It is AU’s longstanding position to oppose boycotts, divestment from Israel, and other related actions known as BDS. Such actions threaten academic freedom, the respectful free expression of ideas and views, and the values of inclusion and belonging that are central to our community."

Sylvia M. Burwell
President, 51³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ
