Death by a committee

Looks like various administrators are following various tactics to avoid doing anything about genocide now.

Some using State's baton/gun & some deception.

This is of the later kind.

> … companies that profit from “the occupation of Palestinian territories.”

> The two committees will make policy recommendations by fall 2024, after which the college will consider implementing them no later than spring 2026.

They are going to "consider", not implement. Not divestment from Israel but companies that profit from those benefiting from "Palestinian territories".

They have 2 more years to do this when there is no immediate pressure to implement, as there will be other crimes ruling class will engage in by then & no one will pay any attention if its thrown into dustbin then.

These are not victories, these are the tactics of someone who is not serious to give any concession. These are professional managerial class "victories" i.e nothing burgers, barring rare exceptions.

The only tangible concession one gets now is real. Everything else driven by committees are simply unserious & goal is ensure pressure is off their back now.
