The Issue

We, the undersigned, support the divestment resolution passed by Oberlin College Student Senate on May 5, 2013. We demand financial transparency from the administration and a response to the resolution.

The resolution demands that Oberlin College examine its financial assets to identify its investments in companies that a) directly provide weaponry, security systems, prisons, or military support for the illegal occupation of the Palestinian territories, or b) directly facilitate the building or maintenance of the illegal Separation Wall or the demolition of Palestinian homes, or c) directly facilitate the building, maintenance, or economic development of illegal Israeli settlements, outposts, and segregated roads and transportation systems on occupied Palestinian territory. The resolution demands the divestment from Veolia, Hewlett Packard, SodaStream, Group 4 Securicor, Caterpillar, and Elbit Sysems.
