Students at Tufts University in Boston have voted in favor of ending all foreign military training of the college’s police department.
Their referendum is just the latest in a recent series of victorious student campaigns in support of Palestinian rights around the country.
Members of Tufts Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) and more than 40 allied campus groups launched the referendum campaign after documents revealed that Tufts’ police chief attended a “counter-terrorism seminar” in Israel, funded by the Anti-Defamation League.
Congrats to @SJPtufts for all your hard work to #EndTheDeadlyExchange! Tufts students voted 68% in favor of prohibiting their campus police from participating in military training trips after their police chief trained in Israel. https://t.co/VyBxQf2KYl Palestine Legal (@pal legal) December 22, 2020
