One Thing: The Financial Reality Behind Campus Calls to Divest
About this episode
In recent weeks, several colleges have called in police to break up pro-Palestinian encampments that have popped up on campuses across the country. While demands from students vary from school to school, one of the most common is for universities to divest from Israel-linked businesses and entities. In this episode, we hear about the history of divestment protests at Columbia University and how these campaigns would play out in practice.
Guest: Matt Egan, CNN Business Reporter
