as someone unfamiliar with the particulars of burgerland academia, what does it mean in practice when a university pledges to “hold a vote” on divestment from israel? who will be voting? students, faculty staff, donors?

Administrators or a panel of big donors, depending on the context.

I didn't think anyone making any concrete decisions about responses to the protests is operating as part of some broader conscious, intentional strategic plan

They're all little petty tyrants, like Abbott and Adams

I met up with the protestors in Shibuya earlier. They weren’t on the loud speaker like last time on Twitter, just holding up flags and signs and taking donations. I felt good about giving some money to help out. :unsmith:
