Another campus joins sanity
Student leaders at Northeastern University rejected a resolution that had the Boston school divesting from companies doing business with Israel. 
On Monday, the Student Government Association voted down the measure, with 25 senators opposed, nine in favor and 14 abstaining. The vote, which took place just before midnight, followed some two hours of passionate debate, according to Dylan Abraham, a student senator and former executive vice president of the school’s Hillel chapter 
“The outcome of the vote is welcome news to our Jewish student leaders, who feel justifiably proud of all the hard work they have put into lobbying, advocacy, educational efforts, strategy sessions, late night communications and social media efforts,” said Arinne Braverman, executive director of Northeastern Hillel, which worked with the New England chapter of the Anti Defamation League, StandWithUs and other Jewish organizations to support students in their effort to defeat the resolution.
