SAN DIEGO — Protest ers at UC schools have long called for divestment for various reasons. Experts say it is a complicated and thorny demand.
Much of a university's funding comes from its endowment, which is a fund that generates long-term cash flow through investments. A call to divest is a request for that endowment to stop investing in a particular business or sector. Even if the UC system did consider divestment, as protesters demanded, the scope of the divestment would likely significantly impact the endowment.
Marsicano says this current climate most reminds him of the 1980s, when students at UC schools, as well as other universities across the country, called for divestment from the apartheid government in South Africa. Protesters could claim success, as more than 100 schools did take action on divestment.

Trade Volume Between Türkiye and Israel Declines SignificantlyThe trade volume between Türkiye and Israel has declined significantly since Israel's invasion of Gaza began last year, data from the Turkish Trade Ministry suggests. From October 7 to March 20 this year, the total Türkiye-Israel trade volume fell by nearly 33 percent, according to information compiled by the Figures sourced from the Trade Ministry and compiled by Anadolu reveal a substantial 33 percent decrease in Türkiye's trade interaction with Israel from October 7, 2023, to March 20, 2024. Meanwhile, Türkiye's exports to Israel fell 30 percent, while its imports decreased by 43.4 percent. Turkish nationals and companies have been gradually cancelling sales and orders with Israel, while trade is mostly with private firms, including some international ones, rather than state enterprises. Goods sent from Türkiye to Palestine pass through Israel and its customs gates due to Palestine's lack of its own customs facilities. Goods destined for Palestine are required to be labelled for Israel or include the phrase "via Israel." In addition, Israel does not recognise legal relations between Palestine and third countries, while it refuses to allow commercial transactions through the Rafah Border Crossing with Egypt. As a result, trade between third countries and Palestine is logged overwhelmingly as trade with Israel in data reflected in national statistics.
