Yale student government demands university divest from companies with ties to ICE​

Yale’s student government is demanding that university leaders divest from companies with ties to Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

A statement the student government approved during its last meeting “characterized recent ICE actions as ‘inhumane and illegal surveillance, deportation, and detention of our neighbors,'” Yale Daily News reported April 6.

Yale-invested companies reported as linked to ICE include Palantir, Target Hospitality, Flock Safety, and TDR Capital.

“I hope that this statement shows that ICE’s destruction is on students’ minds. Just about every student group on campus seems to be hosting a teach-in, organizing a fundraiser for migrant justice,” a student organizer with the Endowment Justice Collective, which sponsored the statement and presented it to the student government, told the Daily.

The vote comes after an effort in late February during which roughly 100 students gathered outside of President Maurie McInnis’ office to deliver letters to trustees calling for divestment ahead of their board meeting, the Daily reported.

In January, Yale’s advisory committee on investor responsibility “rejected a proposal for divestment from Palantir over its support for ICE and genocide in Palestine, five hours after an ICE agent murdered Renée Good in Minneapolis,” Yale Endowment Justice posted on X.

“This morning, ICE abducted a neuroscience researcher at Columbia from her on-campus apartment. And for many months, ICE has terrorized our neighbors in New Haven with raids at workplaces, courthouses, and homes across our city,” the post added.

As The College Fix reported at the time, the Advisory Committee on Investor Responsibility rejected all three of the Endowment Justice group’s requests for divestment.

Students, given a chance, would protest for Yale to divest itself of ALL companies.

"Free Enterprise is so passe in the Yale Marxist World - its time to divest ANY connection for profit - and count on Government Grants to give free education to our enemies and the DEI preferred."

I know who they should divest themselves off and it isn't ICE.

Wasn't Yale on the list that SECWAR Hesgeth stated would no longer be an approved pipeline of education for military personnel?

Seems all these alleged ivy league institutes of higher learing (lol) only graduate professional agitators/protestors.

I think this is a wonderful idea. Since the Government which includes ICE backs all student loans any one from Yale would be automatically denied.

If they've got time for this B.S., then they're not being given enough homework to keep them busy.

Science experiment for all entitled student governments: They can demand all they want with one hand out and s__t in the other, and see which one fills up the fastest.

All well and good until the Yale alumni, who are major players/investors in those companies, make their feelings known through their checkbooks.

And I insist we cease all federal funding to this university. And to deny foreign monies.

Yale should divest themselves of all attachments involving ICE... This would, of course, dissolve grant and loan representation for US Gov't grants and loans.
