On April 22, the University of Texas student assembly voted resoundingly against a boycott motion that would have targeted US corporations doing business with Israel. The vote failed 23 to 11, the
student newspaper reported. Prior to the vote, 17 former student government
presidents and vice
presidents sent a letter to the current assembly, asking them to reject the BS effort.
Based on our count, the Texas vote is the third failure of BS this month:
San Diego State University rejected BS on April 9 and
UCSB rejected BS on April 16.
Last month saw BS rejected at the
University of Michigan, the
University of British Columbia,
Southampton University,
Northeastern,
the
University of New Orleans, and the
University of Georgia.
