UC President Michael Drake said in a Wednesday letter to campus chancellors that boycotts by university entities on the basis of “association with a particular country” do not align with the university’s “sound business practices.” University entities include authorized student governments such as the ASUC and the Graduate Assembly, which continues to operate within the ASUC despite ongoing discussion about their separation. “We take seriously our responsibility to reflect student voices, especially when they concern matters of conscience and global justice,” ASUC President Abigail Verino said in a statement. “The ASUC is committed to upholding the democratic decisions made by our student body while also ensuring the long-term strength and resilience of the association.” ✍️: Stephanie Wang, Rae Wymer | raewymer . . . #ucberkeley #NSF #berkeley #universityofcalifornia #UC #Israel
