St Andrews faculty and students: please consider signing this letter calling for divestment👇

St Andrews staff and students, please consider signing this letter: the time to divest in companies complicit in the occupation and genocide in Palestine was long ago, but we can't wait any longer!

The UCU Edinburgh just sent a letter to the University of Edinburgh Principal, supporting the Edinburgh Justice for Palestine encampment and its demands for divestment, urging our university to disclose, divest, and create a special fund for the support of academics and students from Gaza

I'd encourage colleagues and students at St Andrews to read and sign this letter calling for the University to divest from companies implicit in the genocide and occupation in Palestine

If you are affiliated with the University of St Andrews, please sign. Membership in UCU St Andrews not required.

I strongly encourage my colleagues as well as St Andrews students to sign this important letter.

The encampment also have a petition, here: change.org/p/uoa-encampme…

The University must divest from companies that are profiting from or supporting the ongoing genocide and occupation in Palestine.
