    UCLA's Multi-Billion Dollar Investment in Genocide?

    UCLA Student's Hunger Strike Highlights University's Investments in Companies Linked to Palestinian Genocide A UCLA student, Maya, is on a hunger strike, entering its sixth day, to protest the university's substantial financial investments in companies allegedly connected to the Palestinian genocide. This action has drawn attention to UCLA's endowment, which includes billions of dollars invested in various sectors, some with documented ties to human rights violations. Maya's video statement reveals that UCLA's investments indirectly hold $12.3 billion worth of publicly traded companies. Of this amount, $1.6 billion is invested in weapons manufacturers, and $8.7 billion is in information technology companies holding Israeli government contracts. She states, "Universities and institutions of learning are run like for-profit businesses. They hold billions of dollars in investments and private equity funds, meaning the people who run this university directly profit from the slaughter of Palestinian children." The student is not only calling for a public meeting with UCLA administrators to discuss divestment from these companies but also urging the university to protect both documented and undocumented students who are facing repercussions for exercising their right to protest. This situation highlights the complex relationship between higher education institutions and their financial portfolios, raising critical questions about ethical investing and the responsibilities of universities in addressing human rights concerns. The hunger strike serves as a potent symbol of student activism and the demand for transparency and accountability from major institutions.
