MADRID (JTA) – After weeks of campus protests at the University of Copenhagen, hundreds of students won their demand last week: a halt to the school’s investment in companies that operate in the West Bank.
The university said on May 28 that it will divest its holdings worth 1 million Danish Krone, about $145,500, in Airbnb, Booking.com and eDreams, which appear on a UN list of businesses with activities in the West Bank. The University of Copenhagen has a yearly revenue of over 10 billion Danish Krone, or $1.5 billion.
