In 2023, St. Olaf College partnered with tech giant Oracle to manage student, faculty, and staff employment and payment. We call on St. Olaf to stop the ongoing transition of information services to Oracle, in protest of the corporation's investments in and service to the State of Israel.

The Israeli military has killed more than thirty thousand Palestinians since October 7, 2023, and PM Benjamin Netanyahu continues to refuse a ceasefire. We believe that St. Olaf College should not strengthen connections with Oracle, a corporation which has not only been silent on these deaths, but has vowed to increase services for the State of Israel since October 7. Refusing further integration of Oracle’s services is the least that St. Olaf can do in response to the Israeli government's atrocities.
