Why should Rutgers University Divest?
Quite simply because it’s the moral thing to do. Rutgers University must divest from companies who financially benefit from human right violations. Rutgers must maintain a strict policy on any investments financing public education that are contributing to the oppression of the Palestinian population. Rutgers University, as an educational university, must maintain an obligation to its students and faculty. Additionally, as a state funded institution, Rutgers University is obligated to the residents of the state of New Jersey.
