Wesleyan's Board of Trustees voted against divesting endowment funds from companies linked to the Israel-Hamas conflict, despite student protests for divestment.
Trustee Joseph Edelman expressed his disapproval of the university's decision to reject the divestment proposal, labeling it 'morally reprehensible'.
The move against divestment follows a trend among colleges and universities where similar proposals have been rejected in light of student activism.
Student protests included a sit-in at Wesleyan's investment office, coinciding closely with the Board's decision against divestment during a time of heightened advocacy.
