Academic body reaffirms opposition to Israel boycotts
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleDays after the American Historical Association decisively rejected a resolution denouncing Israel, the Washington, DC-based Association of American Universities reaffirms its opposition to boycotts against Israeli academic institutions.
In a statement issued Thursday, the AHA says it is reissuing its executive committee’s 2013 statement on boycotts because the annual meeting of the American Anthropological Association recently approved a resolution in support of a boycott of Israeli academic institutions.
The full membership of the anthropologists’ group — more than 10,000 scholars — is to vote on the resolution later this year. The American Studies Association and the Asian-American Studies Association have passed similar resolutions.
