New Flyer: NYU's Civil Dialogue

“Free exchange” with Israeli apartheid?
NYU president John Sexton has officially condemned the British University and College Union boycott of Israeli academic institutions. UCU members proposed the boycott in solidarity with the Palestinian struggle against apartheid. Sexton called it “a disavowal of the free exchange of ideas, antithetical to the values and tenets of institutions of advanced learning.” He then proudly promoted NYU’s new study abroad program in Israel-Palestine.
