Student groups urge Indiana University to divest over human rights abuses
Original: Student groups ask IU to divest from countries with alleged human rights abuses, call back to anti-apartheid efforts
Student groups at Indiana University are calling on the university to divest from countries accused of human rights abuses, explicitly invoking the 1980s anti-apartheid divestment movement as a precedent. The campaign pushes IU's trustees and administration to withdraw investments linked to alleged abuses, framing it as a continuation of a long student-led tradition of pressuring universities on ethical investment.
Why now: Student divestment campaigns are a prominent and contested form of campus activism tied to ongoing debates over university investments and human rights.
