Amid student demands that Yale divest from weapons manufacturers, University President Peter Salovey told the News that he would not intervene in the current process by suggesting that the Yale Corporation divest. He called the current process by the Advisory Committee on Investor Responsibility to revisit the University’s 2018 policy “robust” and said that he does not want to “prejudge the process.”
After receiving permission from Pilar Montalvo, assistant vice president for university life, a student took down a banner that listed the names of thousands of Palestinians who have been killed in Gaza during the Israel-Hamas war. Montalvo told the News there were “administrative errors” made in allowing the poster to go up and in authorizing the student to take it down.
During the morning of Friday, Dec. 1, students unfurled a 60-foot banner outside Woodbridge Hall ahead of the Yale Corporation’s scheduled visit to campus this weekend.
