How is the university profiting?

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

I can't speak for the University of Amsterdam specifically but typically campus protests and occupations occur because the college is investing in weapons or tech manufacturing and research by companies who directly profit from the Israeli genocide through sales of those weapons or tech. By extension the university is also benefitting from those sales and therefore genocide through its investment.
